Why More Professionals Are Quitting the Corporate Ladder [W&S 135]


Listen Later

Tired of the 9-to-5 grind? What if you could design a career on your own terms—full of purpose, flexibility, and impact—without climbing the corporate ladder?


We dive into the quiet revolution reshaping Singapore’s work culture. Senior professionals are stepping off the traditional career path and into a new world of portfolio careers, fractional roles, and independent consulting—and it’s not just about freedom. It’s about value, expertise, and redefining success in the second half of your career.


We’re joined by two trailblazers who’ve lived this shift:

🔹 Moritz Kaffsack, Founder & CEO at Flexer; Founder of Portfolio Careers in Asia —a fast-growing community of 1,700+ senior independent professionals across APAC. He’s behind the groundbreaking Independent Workforce Study that’s turning heads in the business world.

🔹 Ratna Juita, Founder & CEO of The Mindgem, an Indonesian-born entrepreneur who’s built a thriving portfolio career in Singapore over 19 years—spanning leadership training, personal branding, coaching, and strategic consulting—all while reclaiming control over her time and life.


Discover:

✅ Why more companies are choosing fractional experts over full-time hires

✅ How top independents are earning up to $250,000 a year—and why they’re optimistic about doubling it

✅ The real trade-offs of going independent (spoiler: it’s not all flexibility and freedom)

✅ And the one skill no aspiring independent worker can afford to ignore


This isn’t just a trend—it’s a movement. And it might be your next career move.
