BLT #25 | What should you do next in your career?

February 6, 2025

We've all faced this question at some point: what should I do next in my career? It's a daunting thought that can intimidate even the most seasoned professionals, and we think we know why.

WE BELIEVE:

We're not asking the right question.

We've worked with hundreds of people over the years who are trying to find the "right" next step in their career. The problem, however, is looking for the "right" answer implies there are many "wrong" answers you should avoid. Said differently, this framing is extremely limiting and tricks us into thinking that there is only one valid answer to the question of what you should do next.

SOMETHING WE LOVE:

Finding your "right answer for right now."

For many people looking for the "right" answer, they often feel like these decisions are final or set in stone. That's why we like to remind folks that you are allowed to change your mind. We encourage them to make the decision that is most right for their stage of life and their current ambitions, but also remember that they can make a new choice anytime down the road. You will always learn more by making a "right now" choice and taking action than by trying to predict the "exact right" choice and remaining stagnant.


YOU SHOULD TRY:

Make a choice to invest in yourself.

We've been hard at work getting more resources, tools, and events up and running in the Career Sandwich platform. If you're a member, we invite you to log in and check out what we've been up to. And if you're not a member, we encourage you to make a "right now" choice to invest in yourself. That's a decision you'll never regret.
