In this episode, we tackle one of the biggest career myths out there - that changing careers means taking a pay cut. We explore how proper planning (not just jumping ship!) can help you make a successful transition.

As career coaches, we see fantastic professionals staying stuck because they think career change isn't possible for them. Join us as we share practical strategies that have helped our clients transition into new careers while maintaining (or even increasing) their income.
