By

The pandemic gave professionals everywhere an opportunity to rethink their career paths.

Ask anyone from our parent’s or grandparent’s generation what their definition of career success is and they’d say a steady job and a regular paycheck.

The pandemic turned the world on its head in more ways than one. The way we communicate, the way we socialise, the way we work – it all changed. So did the way we value our time. Suddenly, we were faced with an abundance of that time, and that meant people were able to shift … Continued

Is it time for you to join the Great Resignation?

By

The pandemic forced a massive paradigm shift in the way we think about work. Before COVID, working from home was considered a perk, and having a side hustle seen as a distraction. Having just one job, for one employer – effectively being a corporate servant, in the office five days per week – was expected. … Continued
