Who do you turn to for guidance when you have questions or help with career related decisions?

When facing career-related decisions or seeking guidance, I often turn to mentors, professionals in my field, or trusted colleagues who have experience navigating similar paths. Their insights and advice provide invaluable perspectives that help me weigh my options and make informed choices. Additionally, I find that consulting reputable resources online, such as career development websites or industry-specific forums, can offer useful content to supplement the guidance I receive from individuals. By combining the wisdom of those I trust with the wealth of information available on Related site, I feel empowered to make confident decisions about my career trajectory.

I used to bounce my ideas off of my family, friends, and others closest to me. However, as time's gone on my path has diverged and I noticed no one I was taking advice from is/was yet in a position I envied or wanted to emulate.

Now I tend to use my inner circle for emotional support through the career choices I make based off of conversations from mentors, peers in my industry and adjacent. If I had access to sponsorship etc. through a place of work I'd jump at that opportunity as well.

I've noticed that the things I want to do in my career and with my work life are very different from what many others around me want, need, and/or expect. However, my quality of life and the type of knowledge the people around me with since making this change has definitely improved.

Additionally, I've found the site Elpha to be incredibly helpful in making a substantial number of those connections.
