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

    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.

    Leave a comment if you’ve ever struggled with this decision—and tell us what finally made you stay or go.



    06:27 How can you tell if someone left a job mainly for financial gain?

    10:29 How do you justify frequent moves to hire‑ers?

    13:27 Personal Experiences with Pay Increments

    23:43 What’s the first move when growth stops?

  • What No One Tells You About 6-Figure Jobs in Singapore [W&S 129 ft Nicholas Braman]

    You’ve probably heard the buzz about hitting that coveted six-figure income. But what does it really take to get there—and what are the sacrifices no one talks about?


    We deep dive into the realities of earning a six-figure salary in Singapore—straight from someone who’s living it.


    - The 24/7 mental load that comes with the paycheck (hint: "work-life balance" gets redefined).

    - Shocking trade-offs—from lost personal time to unexpected vulnerabilities.

    - Why earning more might put you at greater risk during market downturns.

    - The emotional toll of high-stakes responsibility (even your friendships change).


    We’re joined by Nicholas Braman, Marketing Director APJ at Kyriba | Podcaster - Before We Get There, a seasoned B2B marketer with over a decade of experience in tech, e-commerce, and agency spaces. He’s not only cracked the six-figure code—he’s navigated the intense demands, long hours, and high-pressure expectations that come with it.


    This isn’t a guide on how to chase six figures blindly—it’s a real talk about whether you’re ready for the trade-offs that come with it.


    Listen now—wherever you get your podcasts.
