Episode notes
INSIGHT

Job Market Is Not One-Size-Fits-All

  • The job market feels chaotic because headlines amplify specific industry pain, not the whole economy.
  • Your personal market depends on industry, geography, and role, so data matters more than headlines.
ADVICE

Vet Culture By Talking To Employees

  • Start by setting realistic expectations for what work will feel like and what you need from a job.
  • Then talk to current employees and ask specific questions about day-to-day life and one thing they'd change.
ADVICE

Speak With Similar Colleagues For Honest Insight

  • If you need representation, ask recruiters to connect you with employees who share your background.
  • Speaking with similar-minted colleagues yields clearer insight into inclusion and belonging.
