I worked at BlackRock for ~7 years.

I had the best colleagues, great pay, and opportunities to work in New York, Hong Kong and London.

Then I was promoted to Vice President.

And I quit my job. šŸ˜…

Because for a while, I had felt lost.

I had the paper-perfect career but something was not quite right.

And finally, I decided it was time: I needed to just take the plunge.

To be honest? It has not been all roses.

ā˜¹ļø I took a 50%+ pay cut.
ā˜¹ļø Felt lost (a lot).
ā˜¹ļø And had to start from the bottom.

But I loved it.

And I uncovered what I was truly passionate about: Helping others make the same transition that I had.

Because this career-pivoting journey?

It’s:
šŸ”„ Tough;
šŸ”„ Uncharted; and
šŸ”„ Sometimes, we can’t see ourselves as clearly as another person does.

I’ve had many people (e.g. from Google, UBS, Stripe) asking me to help them make that big, scary career pivot: To build alternative careers that weren’t always paper-perfect but would be perfect for them.

I even started my own podcast, Ctrl Alt Career, and became a career coach on this very topic!

So here’s my question to you:

Do you feel the need to make a change?
