Description

What happens when your job turns into constant stress, 12-hour days, and endless office politics? For Shreya, the answer was a full-scale career reboot. After burning out at a Big 4 firm, she took a leap of faith, quit without another job lined up, and used the Happen To Your Career process to find a role that finally fit her values, strengths, and lifestyle.

 

What you'll learn

  • How to recognize when stress and misalignment are signs you need to make a change
  • Why quitting without a plan isn't always reckless but can be the reset you need
  • The difference between finding the "perfect job" and finding the right environment
  • How Shreya used career experiments to uncover her strengths and land an aligned role
  • Why your first job doesn't define your career… it's just your starting point
