You’ve spent years climbing the career ladder, snagging promotions and basking in the glow of well-deserved pay rises. On paper (read: LinkedIn), everything seems great – enviable even. However, you can’t quite help but feel … underwhelmed? The go-getter energy that once propelled you out of bed has been replaced with burnout and now, beneath it all, you’re left wondering: ‘Is this really it?’
If this sounds familiar, then you may be experiencing ‘career comedown’. Thankfully, Stefanie Sword-Williams, award-winning founder and author of F*ck Being Humble, is here to help. Drawing upon Stefanie’s years of experience as a career expert, and hundreds of hours of interviews and research, this personable and relatable handbook offers a trove of practical advice on what to do when work isn’t working for you.
Exploring three distinct pathways – sticking with your current job but moulding it to suit you, twisting down a different path and reinventing yourself professionally, or tapping out from work being your identity altogether – Career Comedown is an engaging and essential guide to prioritising your needs in your working life.
So if you've ever asked yourself…
- Am in the right career?
- Am going to feel stuck forever?
- How can I find better work life balance?
- How can I stop letting work take over?
- Can I reinvent myself and still be successful?
…then this book is the one for you.
Feel empowered to reflect on your values, take charge of your career journey and redefine success on your own terms.
