Career Seasons
We all go through different phases in each of our careers. Your Season has profound implications for the jobs you look for and even the way you search for your job.
At different points in our lives, we want different kinds of jobs:
- Growth: When we prioritize learning and earning more — and we’re willing to put in the time
- Lifestyle: When we want to prioritize our time outside work, such as taking care of family
- Reinvention: When we want to completely reinvent ourselves, including the role and even industry we work in.

A Few Notes About Seasons
- No Season is better than the others. No judgment against any Season — it’s YOUR Season. You choose what’s right for you now.
- We naturally move in and out of Career Seasons as we get older. Just like actual seasons. While it makes sense to want all of these things to happen simultaneously, some things are just more appropriate for certain Seasons.
- Even if you feel like you could be in multiple Seasons, you need to pick ONE. This is hard, especially for top performers who like to go above and beyond. But you will find that trying to do more than one at a time means not doing your best at either.
