Night after night, Stevie puts her 4 year old to bed and then sits down on the couch to watch TV and scroll LinkedIn. She’s been thinking about finding a new job for the past few years now and would like to move out of finance but this endless scroll is not working.

Stevie has always had strong quantitative skills and she doesn’t mind her job as a Controller for a medium sized business, but her company is fully in-person and management is not very family-friendly. She “grew up” within this company though and is struggling to think about what else should be qualified for if she wasn’t a Controller at this company anymore.

Join Becca and Marie to explore where to start with the “what am I qualified for?” question and then how to match up your skills with new paths forward.

Mom of four, Norah, has worked for her family’s nonprofit her entire career. It’s a small mission-driven nonprofit and since Norah grew up with the organization she has wore a lot of different hats.

As you can imagine, the grocery bill for a family of 6 is pretty high though, and as her kids get older and Norah and her husband are mapping out college savings, Norah has found that it’s time to step away from her family business into an industry with more earning potential. But what does that look like?

Join Becca and Marie to talk about Norah’s career criteria and how those criteria helped her to identify an industry, company, and role that was perfect for her.
