Is remote work the silver bullet everyone thinks it is? Vanessa & Holland agree with Elon Musk: the answer is no. Given the choice, we’d trade growth in our careers over leggings and Zoom calls any day.

Plus, now is not the time to be making demands in your job hunt. Tens of thousands of laid off roles are not getting rehired. So get a job, work where you have to, and prioritize career growth above everything else.

You found your dream job. You applied for your dream job. You got your dream job. Congratulations! But is it still your dream job 2 months, 2 years, or 2 decades in?

It feels a-ma-zing to walk into a room and tell people you work at Google, Nike, Apple, Wall Street, or one of the Big Four. But what happens when that job is no longer serving you and it’s time to leave, especially when everyone is telling you that job is exactly what you should want?

You have to keep you, your goals, and what you want front and center, and know that prestige is not everything it’s cracked up to be. Figure out who you are. Only then will you be able to stand firm in yourself, no matter where you work.

If you’re in college or even high school, you need to ask yourself: why do I want a 4-year degree, is that the only way to get what I want, and is it the cheapest way to get what I want? 

And remember, there’s a difference between an education and a degree.
