Looking for some feedback on names...
If I said I offered a career hack or a career reboot, what would think I could be offering? And would you be interested?
I'm looking for some feedback on the name for one of my services.
I offer a 1 hour coaching session which is focused on stepping back and understanding where your career is going, helping you get clearer about your personal mission and seeing how that fits with your career.
I typically unpick what you think a career is, what success is, and help you see the big picture, before zooming back into where you are now and the actions you want to take to realign all of these.
It’s specifically aimed at women in tech, so I’m keen to call it something that speaks to you - hence asking the question.
Right now I’ve called it a Career Hack - because it’s about pulling apart your traditional ideas around career, and then hacking them back together again.
Another idea I had was Career Reboot - because it’s aimed at those wanting to take a new look at their career.
Open to other suggestions - but most of all interested in either of these names appeal.

A dream role position has landed on my plate while I’m not feeling my very best due to a health issue .
I’m okay 65-70% percent of time but lately it’s been flaring . I don’t want to lose the opportunity and feel I should at least try and do my best . im praying to god , to help me land this job only if its meant to be as im afraid my health “might “ affect my performance . I’m currently still going through the interview process . Would like some feedback from some mid -senior level professionals . Has anyone been in this situation before ?

Opinion on secondment
I've been in my company for 9 months .
The perfect secondment opportunity came up .
My manager said to meet the secondment manager.
However, my meeting didn't go well.
I asked all the relevant questions but the secondment manager was very negative in her responses and I felt bad vibes.
The role was perfect and exactly what Ive been dreaming of .
But every question I'd ask she would be negative and say x person is tough x team will write bad reviews.
I didn't know if this was to check how i'd behave so I just twisted it positively and say how I'd adapt and help her with these challenges.
I rejected the opportunity but don't know if it's the right decision.
How do you determine if the secondment is right for you

How long should you stay in a position or company? Do you think there is a standard time?
Curious to know others thoughts on this topic. I've been hearing 2-5 years. I think there are multiple factors that determines the time such as security, money, toxic space, they love the role or company, it's not your career goal, they're bored etc

Hi,
I wanted to get some other perspectives from anyone that has become a mum and feels like they need to/want to take a step back in their career? I don't know if my experience is unusual or if this is a common thing that happens. I have a very limited village, so any illness or issue means I have to take time off work etc. and progressing in my career in a high stress environment doesn't feel sustainable alongside the home life pressure. Is anyone willing to share their experiences?
