Description
What if the paycheck you worked so hard for is costing you more than you realize? In this episode of Wickedly Smart Women, Anjel B. Hartwell continues the seven-part anniversary series with Amanda Goodwin with what happens when there's only out.
They explore the emotional and financial cost of staying too long, why resentment can be an early warning sign, and how women can begin planning their exit before they reach the red zone.
If you're wondering what comes after corporate, this conversation will help you think differently about your options, your intellectual property, your autonomy, and what it could look like to create a life and business that actually belongs to you.
What You Will Learn:
How quiet quitting can signal that a corporate role no longer fits.
Why a high salary does not always make staying in the wrong environment worthwhile.
How resentment can become an early warning sign that it is time to make a change.
What the "resento-meter" reveals about frustration, resentment, exhaustion, and rage.
Why intentional planning can create a bridge from corporate to consulting.
How women can think about different ways out, including starting, buying, or owning a business.
Why being the "CEO of yourself" can change how you approach your career and future.
How staying too long can lead to having a career decision made for you through layoffs, restructuring, or termination.
Why leaving corporate does not necessarily mean abandoning financial security or earning potential.
How autonomy can become part of the next chapter after corporate.
