Finding Your Next Move: Strategies for a Successful Career Pivot

Wednesday, October 8, 2025
12:00 PM - 1:00 PM ET
Webinar

Event details

If you’re in the market for a career change, you’re not alone. Career pivots are common. In fact, people between the ages of 18 and 24 change jobs an average of 5.7 times throughout their career journeys—and a good chunk of people of all ages are considering making moves right now. Changing careers to find better alignment, earn bigger paychecks, or perhaps have more flexibility can be exciting—but it can also be an overwhelming time. That’s why it’s important to maintain your work-life balance, even while juggling job applications, upskilling, or networking.

Join us for a discussion with team members at Pluralsight as they share their personal experiences with career pivots. They'll also provide insights on how to manage your work and personal life throughout the journey. In this webinar, you'll learn:

  • How to better balance work and life while navigating a career change

  • Tips for finding clarity on your professional goals and defining your interests

  • Strategies for a successful career pivot, including how to find and accept support along the way
