Career – Managing Your Career 2017 and Beyond
Career, what career, Big Red Car?
Big Red Car here in the ATX on a gloomy, wet day. Ahh, it is still good, y’all. Will be 80F by afternoon and maybe, just maybe, the sun will burn through.
Today, in our new gig economy, it is almost impossible to get the word “career” out of one’s mouth and not have it drown in your smile. Companies don’t provide career opportunities; and, companies in or around the tech space, the startup ecosystem, make no bones about it. They are all headed to the pay window and one can only hope to have a few stock options with which to enjoy the trip and then find another gig on the flip side.
But, in spite of this, YOU still need to take care of YOU.
That’s what we are going to talk about today — you managing your career in the day of the gig economy.
