Resigning and Pivoting career paths during a pandemic
I recently resigned from a role that provided great pay and benefits, yet no longer contributed to my growth and development in my overall career path. However, it can be daunting to quit during a pandemic without a job lined up. How can I make the most out of my "courageous" decision in times of a frothy job market and inevitable economic recession? Thanks in advance!
Have you thought about writing an article for either FGB or LI on how, why and outcomes of your decision? I enjoy reading about courage and the women who take that leap of faith.
Now is a great time to look at upskilling. Are there areas within software programs or project management you could take some training? I find journaling a helpful tool when I am between “seasons” or need to get thoughts, feelings and ideas out of my head and on paper. Surround yourself with positive people during this time of change.
