WSJ Your Money Briefing · It May Be Time to Rethink Your Perfect Career Plan · 29 Sep 2023 podcast

You're moving in all different directions and you're thinking, what do I want to be known for?

Not just rising in lockstep to that next promotion that's directly above you.

It's actually quite wise to diversify a little bit so that you have different skills that can be applied in different ways.

I don't want to oversell how easy it was for everyone who came before us, although that is always tempting.

This has been going on for some time, this kind of fraying bond between employer and employee, the idea that decades ago people got a pension, they stayed with the company for life.

I mean, some of that is a

teeny bit of oversimplification but there certainly has been a change what i think is changing more recently is just this new kind of moment we find ourselves in companies are cutting back whether it's because they actually have to do layoffs or they're following suit to show that they are lean and efficient they're getting rid of layers of middle managers in industries like tech meta has been very outspoken about this and i think things like technology and ai are changing this too

I'm not saying no one can pull it off, but this idea that something I've heard from experts in months of reporting is this expectation that you're going to be moving up and to the right, you know, your job trajectory is going to be this straight line heading that way.

That's just not how things work.

Real life doesn't really work like that to begin with, but especially with all of these things shifting and changing, we just have to expect that it's going to be a little bit more up and down and sideways.

I'm not telling people not to be a good corporate citizen.
