Shameless Careers

54: Feeling Stuck in Your Career? Watch This Before You Quit

Thu, 07 May 2026 06:28:24 GMT

One of my favourite episodes yet on the Shameless Careers podcast is out - with Karim Chedid, Managing Director and Investment Strategy Lead, EMEA.

We discuss a refreshingly simple - but shockingly profound - idea for this day and age:

“If you find yourself having doubts about your career track, you’d be surprised by HOW MUCH can be done within your exact current seat to make it feel closer to 100% fulfilling”.

Why?

So often, at the very first sign of dissatisfaction, the human mind jumps to: “BIG CHANGE IS NEEDED. URGENTLY.”

When, in fact, the opposite is needed - take a “microscope,” and patiently investigate: “What is it, SPECIFICALLY, that is missing right now?”

And more often than not, that one thing is surprisingly fixable from right where you are:

✅Changing how you do your job (e.g. bringing in more creativity and storytelling, just like Karim did)

✅Seeking out new experiences and exposure (taking on new projects, joining company boards)

✅ Etc. etc.

And EVEN if a bigger change is needed, at least you will know what it is exactly that you are looking for.

Einstein once said (and we trust Einstein): “If I had one hour to save the world, I would spend 55 minutes defining the problem and five minutes solving it.”

So why not listen to him - and to the tips from Karim and myself on this podcast episode :)

52: From High Performer to Senior Leader: The Mindset Shift That Changes Everything

Sun, 22 Mar 2026 17:32:20 GMT

The biggest mistake high performers make after becoming senior leaders?

They keep doing instead of leading.

This is exactly what I unpacked in the latest episode of the Shameless Careers podcast.

I spoke with David Feld - executive coach to leaders at JP Morgan, Ford, Schroders, Fidelity, and BNY Mellon - about the mindset shifts that separate strong operators from strong leaders.

Here are the ideas that stayed with me most:

• Why personal brilliance stops being the main metric at senior level

• Why continuing to "do" becomes the hidden career trap

• A simple way to identify which actions actually drive results

• Why “thinking time” is not a luxury - but a leadership necessity

• Why people decisions often matter more than business decisions

• Why overconfidence can quietly become your biggest career risk

Honestly?

This conversation alone probably saved me years of trial and error.

If you're in (or aiming for) senior leadership, this episode is full of practical ideas you can apply immediately.

51: How to Become a Startup Advisor Without Quitting Your Job | Fractional Work Guide

Wed, 25 Feb 2026 21:18:45 GMT

Many corporate professionals want to break into the startup ecosystem - but quitting their job feels too risky.

Here’s the good news: you don’t have to.

And yes - you can get paid to do it.

In this episode of Shameless Careers, we explore fractional work - the fast-growing model where senior professionals advise startups alongside their full-time roles, earn premium day rates, and build multiple income streams (often combining cash and equity).

I’m joined by Roei Samuel - investor, entrepreneur, and founder of Connectd, one of the UK’s fastest-growing platforms connecting experienced professionals with high-potential startups.

After building and exiting his company, RealSport, in a multi-million-pound acquisition, Roei began advising startups and realised there needed to be a smarter way for corporate leaders to transition into startup advisory. That’s how Connectd was created.

In this episode, we cover:

✅ What fractional work really means - and how to become a startup advisor

✅ How it can future-proof your career (even in the age of AI) while helping you explore your next move

✅ Why fractional is no longer just 'career cushioning' - but a strategic career move for ambitious professionals

✅ The real numbers: typical fractional executive day rates - and how to increase your upside through startup equity

✅ Whether corporates support side advisory roles (often, they do)

✅ How to actually get started - and why Connectd can be a powerful entry point

If you’re curious about advising startups, building a portfolio career, earning beyond a single salary, or staying close to innovation without leaving your job - this episode is your roadmap.

50: How to Get Into Y Combinator and Build a Biotech Company from Scratch

Mon, 09 Feb 2026 20:34:54 GMT

🚀 How do you actually get into Y Combinator - and what does it really take to build a venture-backed startup?

In this episode, I sit down with Miroslav Gasparek, CEO & co-founder of Sensible Biotechnologies (a Y Combinator-backed biotech company) and a member of the Forbes 30 Under 30 Europe list.

Miro shares the unfiltered truth about getting accepted into Y Combinator after multiple attempts, what YC really looks for in founders, and why building a startup is far harder - and more meaningful - than most people realise.

In this conversation, we break down:

- How to get into Y Combinator (what actually matters vs. fluff)

- What YC partners look for in founders and ideas

- The biggest mistakes that kill startups early

- What it REALLY takes to build a venture-backed startup - beyond skills and talent

- Why startup life can feel like torture (and why founders still choose it)

- How to stay resilient under extreme pressure - and why failure is not a career killer

- Why true fulfilment isn’t status, awards, or press

If you’re:

✔️ Applying to Y Combinator

✔️ Building or thinking about a startup

✔️ Raising venture capital

✔️ Curious what separates successful founders from everyone else

- this episode is for you.

49: Burned Out, Bored Out, or Lost Your Spark? How to Find What You Really Want to Do

Thu, 15 Jan 2026 07:00:00 GMT

Ok guys, this is an episode I could not wait to share with you - especially at the start of the year, when so many of us are making big (and small) career resolutions.

This conversation is all about how to figure out what you REALLY want to do - when you’ve done everything “right”, but still feel that something is missing.

I’m joined by two brilliant executive coaches who both had high-flying careers in finance before stepping into their coaching journeys:

- Tatiana Poliakova - Partner at Adaptaa, former Managing Director at Nomura, and author of the upcoming book "Intensity as a Superpower"

- Daria Ibrulj - Founder of FireUp Coaching, and former Investment Banker and private equity investor

In this episode, Tatiana and Daria openly share:

- What it’s like to achieve everything you set out to achieve - yet slowly realise you’ve lost your spark (and we go deep into why this happens)

- The messy, honest journey of figuring out who you are beyond the fancy title you once dreamed of - plus practical tools you can actually use

- The biggest challenges of stepping off a prestigious, “successful” path: identity and financial fear

Why do I love this conversation so much?

Because it shows - so clearly - how our societal narrative of “just be successful and you’ll be happy” is a massive oversimplification of human fulfilment.

And this episode gives you a glimpse of how much more there really is.

48: From Corporate to Startup: The Real Financial Trade-Offs - Is It Worth It?

Tue, 23 Dec 2025 08:52:15 GMT

What REALLY happens when you leave corporate stability for startup chaos?

This Shameless Careers episode is one of our most honest yet - unpacking what it really costs (and offers) when you make the leap.

Guest: Damien Kopp, who spent 11 years at Accenture before jumping to a startup that wasn’t what he expected - and eventually becoming an entrepreneur.

We unpack:

- What can prompt people to jump from a stable corporate role into startups

- Why Damien no longer thinks that corporate jobs are safe

- An absolutely critical startup due-diligence step - that most people skip

- The harsh truth about equity and taking big pay cuts when moving to a startup

- Why “startups = freedom” is only half the story

- And why, if you feel stuck, doing nothing can be the worst career move

47: You Don’t Need a Big Plan - Just the Next Breadcrumb to Find Your Purpose | Katerina's story

Sun, 14 Dec 2025 19:17:18 GMT

So many people struggle to find what they really want because they believe they need a grand career plan. But the truth is - you don’t.

All you need is to follow the breadcrumbs: your intuition, that sense of the next step that feels right at the time - one small step at a time. In other words, you have to walk the path to understand the path.

This episode with Katerina Joannides is a powerful example of doing exactly that.

Katerina began her career at a world-class global architecture studio, working with clients like Google. She then took a bold leap to join a brand-new boutique practice founded by the former Architectural Director of Soho House (the studio didn’t even have a name when she joined). After a rollercoaster of intense learning - but also burnout - she made an even braver move: leaving London behind to move to Spain, reconnect with herself, freelance, and explore what she truly wanted to do.

Every breadcrumb eventually led her to launching her own creative agency - the next chapter of her career, and work she is genuinely excited about.

We also talked about:

✨ The comparison between corporate and startup life - the advantages and trade-offs of each path

✨ How to make the most of freelancing experience

✨ What it’s like - emotionally - to start your own business when no one knows you exist (spoiler alert: that anonymity is also a massive advantage)

Enjoy!

Did you know exactly what you wanted to do early on, or did you have to “follow the breadcrumbs”?

46: Are You a People Pleaser? The Career Cost Nobody Talks About | Executive Coach Interview

Thu, 20 Nov 2025 21:03:49 GMT

In this episode of Shameless Careers, we talk about something so many ambitious professionals struggle with: people pleasing. On the surface it looks helpful… but underneath, it’s one of the biggest career saboteurs.

To unpack this properly, I’m joined by Jelena Radonjic - award-winning career & leadership coach, Forbes Coaches Council member, and advisor to leaders at Amazon, HSBC, Goldman Sachs, Bain, PwC and more.

In this conversation we cover:

- What people pleasing actually is (it’s not always bad!)

- The hidden cost: burnout, resentment and stalled progression

- The paradox: people often respect you more when you set boundaries

- Two questions that instantly break the people-pleasing loop

- What leaders with people-pleasing tendencies need to watch out for

If you’re the “reliable one”, the “nice one”, the “always there” one — this episode will be a game-changer.

45: From Consulting to Tech: How to Pick the Right Startup and Get Promoted Fast | Fabian's Story

Wed, 05 Nov 2025 19:40:45 GMT

Tech is a hot space for careers, isn’t it?

Unsurprisingly, A LOT of people want to break into this space and are wondering: “how can I make it happen?”

This is exactly what we are discussing with my brilliant guest - Fabian Fuchs - in the latest Shameless Careers episode.

Fabian started his career in consulting at BCG, then joined a food delivery scale up in Germany only to see this space SKYROCKET during the pandemic.

Following a bunch of acquisitions the company became part of a scale up Just Eat where Fabian built a stellar career - progressing from Head of Operations in Germany to Chief of Staff to the COO, and then to Director roles in France and London.

In this episode we are talking about:

How to choose the right tech company and build a successful career there
The 3 traits hiring managers often look for when interviewing people for tech roles
Why consultants often excel in tech - and how to compete if you’re not one
And (my favourite) why being part of a tech company can feel like a Netflix series 🍿

If you want to break into tech - or know someone who does - this episode is for you (and for that friend of yours!)

44: "Adult Autism & ADHD Diagnosis Changed My Career " - From Failed Probation to Purpose

Wed, 22 Oct 2025 20:03:41 GMT

In this Shameless Careers episode, haroon (LBS MBA, ex-startups) shares how two failed probations and years of shame finally made sense after a dual adult autism & ADHD diagnosis - opening the door to self-acceptance, self-awareness, and real career purpose.

In this candid, emotional episode, we talk about:

- What it’s like to keep hearing the feedback that you “have flashes of brilliance, but your behaviour is erratic and it's too much to have to manage you”

- The adult autism & ADHD diagnosis: the two-hour cry, relief, and self-compassion

- Neurodiversity at work: why some brains may thrive in chaos, but struggle with routine

- Discovering purpose: haroon’s pivot to a creative career - where his brain truly thrives

- Life post the creative pivot: financial realities, the long game and the power of seizing the day

This episode is a reminder that we’re all wired differently; that some careers may fit our brains better than others; that raising awareness of neurodivergence matters; and that the most important thing is to be kind - to others and to yourself.

I hope you like this episode. Share the link with someone who may need to hear this.

36: From Burnout to Superpower: Why Aligning Work with Your Strengths is the Real Career Hack - Hanan's Story

Wed, 02 Jul 2025 18:00:00 GMT

Ever heard of inauthenticity burnout?

It’s kind of exhaustion that creeps in when you push yourself really hard in something that looks impressive on paper, but is misaligned with your natural strengths (e.g. being an introvert who needs to be extraverted 80% of the time).

This topic is at the heart of the new Shameless Careers episode featuring Hanan Baba.

Early in her career Hanan was ticking all the “right” boxes - e.g. doing a technical degree (actuarial science), joining strategy and analytics at Deliveroo (a fast growing start up back then) - until Hanan faced a severe burnout that made her quit work for a year and totally reassess what fulfilling work actually means - for her.

She realised her true superpower wasn’t technical skill - it was deep human connection. And when she finally gave herself permission to build a career around that, everything changed.

In this episode we are talking about :

The cultural and societal pressure to choose “respectable” career - technical or prestigious - regardless of fit
Why many high-achievers dismiss their true strengths, especially when those strengths come easily or aren’t traditionally “valued” (like emotional intelligence or human connection)
The risks of driving yourself to succeed at any cost - even if something doesn’t come to you naturally and requires 10x effort
How accepting her true personality and values (rather than fighting them) can be the key of your career transformation
The power of running “small experiments” or prototypes to discover what energises you before making a big career leap (and one of such experiments was a proper light bulb moment for Hanan)

I’m super excited to share this episode with you - and I hope it inspires you to accept and value your true (and unique) yourself, no matter what.

Wed, 18 Jun 2025 18:00:00 GMT

What if the true measure of success isn’t your title or salary - but how you feel on an ordinary Tuesday?

That’s the question at the heart of the new Shameless Careers episode.

So often we chase future milestones - promotions, accolades, the next big thing - but it’s how we feel day to day that shapes our happiness much more than any title or status could (which, by the way, is an 'infinite ladder,' as we discuss in this episode).

This is an episode I’ve been looking forward to for a long time: a raw and honest interview with Fernando Bignotto, who made a 180° career pivot from strategy consulting to fine furniture making.

We talk about:

What it’s like to realise your career isn’t playing to your strengths
What it feels like to truly love your work (spoiler: you miss it on holidays and feel sad when projects end)
Why, for some people, corporate work can feel too abstract and not “real” - and what they crave instead is physical, tangible work
The tough financial trade-offs of leaving a high-paying job - and what the other side looks like

I really loved our conversation with Fernando, and I hope you do too. And remember: the ultimate litmus test for career (and, I’d argue, a successful life) is simple - are you excited about your day ahead?

34: Why I Left Big Tech to Start a VC-Backed Startup - and Why I Came Back to Corporate

Wed, 04 Jun 2025 18:51:43 GMT

What happens when you leave Big Tech to build a startup… and end up coming back?

For a while I wanted to interview someone who went on to start their own business - but then came back to employment with a fresh new perspective… and finally I was lucky to meet Anna Buldakova:

🚀 Ex-Big Tech product leader

📈 Forbes Technology Council member

🌍 Founder of a 40,000+ Product Management community

Anna did what many dream of - left a stable product role, raised $2.5M in VC funding, launched her own startup - and embarked on a journey which had it all:

✔️The thrill of finding product-market fit

✔️The need to pivot

✔️The burnout, weekend work, pressure to scale - and the stress of shutting down the business due to factors no one could control

✔️The decision to return to Big Tech - having considered starting a new venture and becoming a Chief Product Officer at a startup

Of course, it wouldn’t be a Shameless Careers episode if we didn’t deep dive into some practicalities like:

✔️ How to prepare a Plan B before taking the leap into entrepreneurship

✔️ What not to do when picking a business idea

✔️ Why taking VC money is not always the way to go

33: All You Wanted to Know About Portfolio Careers - But Were Afraid to Ask

Wed, 21 May 2025 18:16:21 GMT

Portfolio careers are exploding - and they’re not just a trend, they’re the future.

By 2030, nearly half the workforce will be part of the gig economy - and portfolio careers are the white collar version of this trend. There are structural reasons for this shift - many companies want flexibility with talent (which will be exacerbated by AI), while many professionals want more autonomy and more earnings potential.

In this episode, we break it all down with Ben Legg - ex-Google exec and CEO of the Portfolio Collective.

Tune in to the episode to learn:

- The 4 types of portfolio careers - and which one might fit you best

- What you can realistically earn (plus the most lucrative paths to aim for)

- How to start building a portfolio career - even if have no clue where to begin

32: Grief, Motherhood and the Journey Back to What Matters - Reassessing Career and Life

Wed, 07 May 2025 17:00:00 GMT

What makes someone shift from a stable corporate career to a completely different path?

In this deeply personal episode of Shameless Careers, Angela Senese reflects on how a combination of personal experiences - motherhood, health issues, and the loss of a loved one - led her to reassess her career and life in general.

These life events have led Angela to leave the financial services industry, where she spent 17 years, to retrain as a nutritional therapist and functional medicine practitioner - turning a personal need for healing into a career helping others.

In this conversation, we are talking about:

- How big life changes can lead to revaluation of life and career priorities

- How resting - and carefully listening to your body and emotions - can be a great source of insight

- How major changes can happen without a grand plan - but as a result of following "breadcrumbs" - small signs and interests that you may have

I hope you like it - and I (genuinely) would love to hear your reflections on these deep and important topics, let me know in comments!

30: How to Scale a Craft Business — and Why Letting Go of Pressure Can Help You Succeed

Wed, 09 Apr 2025 17:00:00 GMT

In this episode of Shameless Careers, Violetta returns one year after leaving her legal career to build a macramé fashion brand. In our first episode, we explored her bold career change from law to craft - and now, she shares what happened next: scaling, burnout, pregnancy, and letting go of the pressure to constantly “succeed.”

Listen in for a raw, honest conversation about the joys and the struggles of scaling a business:

- Why "the best-known beats the best" — i.e. why visibility matters more these days than perfection in what you are doing

- Why selling products isn't scalable (and why online assets - like books or courses - can be a much more scalable approach)

- Why hustling harder can lead you to burnout - and why letting go of control and pressure to succeed can, paradoxically, create space for unexpected opportunities

27: How to Start a Business from Scratch: Entrepreneurship Tips from a Serial Founder

Wed, 12 Mar 2025 19:24:48 GMT

Want to start a business but are as clueless as I am about how to do it?

There is hope! This episode of Shameless Careers is your practical guide to finding the right business idea and taking it forward based on insider knowledge from someone who has done it multiple times.

Today’s guest, Pascal Pert, is a serial entrepreneur who exited two companies - sports tech and big data - to some of the biggest top tech giants in the space, sold 37 product lines with a reverse engineering factory, and had other ventures in retail, gaming and AI. Pascal is also a board member of Tech and Engineering at Oxford Brooks University - and in this episode we discuss:

✔️ How to come up with a business idea - and why you should always start with a SIMPLE business (that would be - yes, you've heard it right - below your intelligence level)

✔️ Why "unsexy" industries - like food or retail - present great opportunities for healthy margins and lower risk vs your trendy blockchain-with-AI-and-beyond startups

✔️ Why product-based businesses are often easier to scale than service-based ones

✔️ Why the NUMBER ONE skill in entrepreneurship is Sales (that comes before everything - even the product!)

✔️ Why passion is overrated (yes, you don’t need to “love” your business - just the results it brings)

Hope you enjoy it - and drop any entrepreneurship questions you may have in the comments!

Wed, 26 Feb 2025 18:42:48 GMT

Are You Stuck in the Success Trap? 🚀

So many high achievers look successful on the outside - career, money, status - but deep inside, they feel something is missing. Why does achievement often fail to bring real fulfilment? And how do you break free from chasing success that doesn’t truly satisfy?

🔹 Why many high achievers feel unfulfilled, despite checking all the boxes

🔹 The illusion of success and the hidden costs of chasing external validation

🔹 How to redefine success on your own terms - without losing ambition

🔹 Why real power is about exercising choice, not following the “shoulds”

🔹 How breaking free from the success trap leads to greater leadership presence

If you’ve ever wondered “Is this all there is?” or felt like you’re living a life based on expectations rather than your true self, this conversation is for you.

👉 Watch now and discover how to create a career and life that truly aligns with you.

24: Working for Google vs. Rocketship Startup

Wed, 29 Jan 2025 19:11:42 GMT

Ever wondered what it's like to work for a big firm (like Google) versus a fast-scaling startup? I have too!

We could have continued suffering in the unknown, but don’t you worry - because in the new episode of Shameless Careers (link in comments), I interview my brilliant guest, Ekaterina Kalygina, exactly about that!

Early in her career, Ekaterina worked at Unity Technologies - a Series A startup in San Francisco that later had a successful exit 🚀🤩. She then moved to Google, where she was Head of Product Marketing at Google Play in EMEA. Today, Ekaterina is an angel investor and a limited partner at the VC fund Partech Venture.

In the interview we have covered ALL the nuances of working in a rocketship startup vs. big tech (and when its the best time, career-wise, to make a switch between the two) - so I can finally continue living my life in peace (will probably walk my dog now... although he doesn't care about careers, he just wants to be fed at 6 pm!)

Tune in, enjoy, and share your thoughts with me below!

23: How to Become an AI entrepreneur? l JJ's journey from Google, to McKinsey, to AI Entrepreneurship

Wed, 15 Jan 2025 18:49:19 GMT

Hi everyone - in this episode, I'm SUPER excited to plunge into the (hot!) topic of AI Entrepreneurship with my guest JJ.

In my humble opinion, JJ's career path is MEGA exciting. JJ started his career at Google 🤩, went to McKinsey🧠 where he got exposure to digital transformation and deep learning projects. JJ then went deeper into AI space, joining an AI consultancy 🤖 where - at 25! - he was the head of the division in charge of AI strategy.

After that - in this "now or never" moment that I have heard from many entrepreneurs whom I have interviewed - JJ decided to become an entrepreneur and went to Entrepreneur First where he launched, at first, a company delivering real time biometric feedback for fitness applications and then - a company that JJ is running now - a copilot for private equity.

Listen to the interview for tonnes of AI and career insights:

- How JJ decided to leave a corporate path - and what he has learned about employability of ex-founders

- Whether one can build an AI business without technical background

- What lessons JJ has learned running an AI business

- And - of course - how AI can impact careers going forward

Tune in, enjoy, be shameless!

P.S. I have just launched a newsletter where I will be analysing each interview, distilling key career tips & learnings, and sharing my personal career experiences.

13: The Power Of Letting Go When Looking For A Career You Love

Wed, 28 Aug 2024 17:00:21 GMT

In one of the prior episodes - "How Mindfulness Can Help You Find A Career You Love" - my guest Victoria Zimmer, a wellness and mindfulness professional, said that its super important to relax, because its only when you are in a relaxed state, creative solutions can come to you. When you are in stressed and contracted state you are in a focused, problem-solving mode and there is limited room for creativity to come in.

In this episode today, I wanted to pause on this super important idea. In our day-to-day lives many of us are ultra focused on being productive - but is this the right approach? And importantly, will being productive and going all steam ahead help you find a career you love and become successful in it?

In this episode I'm super excited to interview Marc Faubeau. Marc worked for more than a decade in traditional finance as a Sales Trader in an Investment Bank and as an employee for MarketAxess - a super fast growing and top S&P500 fintech firm.

After a few life events, Marc decided to plunge into entrepreneurship, and became a co-founder and COO at Project Olympia - an AI company, bringing video recognition of human movements and behaviours to multiple industries with a focus on sports at launch.

After absolutely roller coaster three years, the company unfortunately didn't survive and Marc went back into full employment. However this is not the point - the key point is that Marc describes this experience as one of the most rewarding in his life.

In this interview we are talking about what was this entrepreneurial journey like, and why it had made such an impact on him.

10: From Deutsche Bank, To Entrepreneurship, to a Portfolio Career

Wed, 17 Jul 2024 17:00:39 GMT

In this episode I'm super excited to interview James.

James started his carer at a big corporate - Deutsche Bank - where for 6 years James was building a career as a software engineer.

But then James ventured into entrepreneurship. He did this by joining an entrepreneurship program - that we are talking about in the episode - and launching his own fitness app.

Now James has something that can be truly called a "portfolio career": he is still running his business on the side, but came back to full employment - but this time round he chose a smaller growing company that can satisfy his entrepreneurial itch. James is also a certified career coach helping people in tech and finance to make their next big career step.

In this episode we are talking about:

- What it was like to leave a big corporate

- What was the entrepreneurship program like and if it was helpful

- What are the benefits of portfolio career - a concept that is becoming more and more popular these days

7: From Investment Banking to Behavioural Science - Alexandra's Story

Wed, 05 Jun 2024 18:00:05 GMT

In this episode I’m super excited to interview Alexandra Kirienko.

Alexandra has made an amazing pivot - she used to work in finance, at an investment bank Jefferies as Equity Sales and she made a pivot towards doing what she loves - which is being a behavioural scientist, career consultant and a PhD candidate at London School of Economics researching hybrid work and wellbeing at work.

In this interview we are talking about:

- How Alexandra has decided to leave such a prestigious job?

- Has she had any doubts as she was making this pivot - and were others telling her that she should stay?

- Was Alexandra ready to give up the income that was getting in the investment banking role?

- How did she figure out what she wants to do afterwards?

- Is “the grass always greener on the other side” - i.e. does she feel much happier in what she is doing now vs. before?

3: How To Find Your Career: Inspiring Journey From Finance Job To Decarbonization

Wed, 10 Apr 2024 04:00:46 GMT

Do you think there’s a difference between doing something you really love and something you don’t? Is the grass always greener on the other side or not? Are you willing to take the risk of finding the perfect career for you - to forgo all expectations and choose the career that makes you excited to go to work every Monday morning?

In this episode of the Shameless Careers podcast, I interviewed Petra, who was shameless enough to leave a very reputable asset management firm and move into the area she loves more - energy market consulting focusing on decarbonisation. Despite having a financially promising career in asset management and feeding into people’s expectations of what she should be, Petra made the challenging decision to do what excited her and brought meaning into her life.

Listen in to learn the importance of listening to yourself and choosing a career path you’re passionate about rather than caving into others’ expectations of you. You will also learn how to be prepared to overcome the challenges of choosing to follow an unexpected career path.

Key Takeaways:

The importance of giving yourself time and space to think about the right career for you.
Shape the future of your career by listening to yourself and not caving into others’ expectations of you.
How to be prepared to handle conflict that arises when you choose the unexpected career path.
Learn to be brave enough to take career chances without needing to be perfect for the opportunity.

What You Will Discover:

[01:45] How lack of excitement in Petra’s asset management career led her to explore and discover more possibilities.
[06:48] Why she initially chose a career based on others’ expectations of her rather than passion and excitement.
[11:17] Factors to consider when choosing a career to find what’s most rewarding for you and not others.
[15:33] Why you shouldn’t fear making a career change if you feel stuck and unsuccessful in your current career.
[17:23] Things you must be prepared to overcome when choosing the unexpected career path.
[23:08] Understand that it’s easier to be motivated and to persevere in a career you’re passionate about.
[28:00] The importance of taking risks and trying opportunities without worrying about completing a job checklist.
[38:09] The power of choosing a career you love and that allows you to make an impact in your life and the world.
[43:10] The importance of having a purpose and doing meaningful work in your chosen career path.
