Is Staying Put the New Power Move? Navigating Career FOMO in the Great Resignation
In a culture that prizes constant upward mobility and "hustle," it can feel like you are falling behind if you aren't jumping at every new opportunity. Kent and Caanan break down why resisting the urge to jump on the "Great Resignation" wave isn't about being stagnant; it is about awareness, purpose, and the confidence to stay grounded in a role you actually love.
From analyzing the "wonky" economic environment to the hidden risks of being the newest person on a team, this episode explores how to distinguish between genuine growth and mindless movement. Whether you are feeling pressured by social media trends or simply wondering if the grass is greener elsewhere, learn why knowing your own values is the ultimate defense against career FOMO.
