What are you seeing in the job market right now that mid-career professionals should be really mindful and paying attention to?

Well, first of all, I think it's a couple of things.

I think there's a lot of fear in the market right now.

And I think as a result of that, a lot of individuals who probably should be looking for their right fit are hesitant to do that because there's a bit of guilt that I think is weighing on high achievers right now who have a role from a standpoint of so many individuals have been displaced and are out of work for various reasons.

And so there's almost like a, why should I even think about trying to do something else? I'm one of the lucky ones that still has a role.

So why should I be you know, selfish and figure like I need something else, at least I have something.

And so I think that's creating a hesitancy to potentially make a move whenever there's really a need from how they're struggling and what they're suffering with in terms of burnout inside to do that.

So how do you help people say no without the resentment and angst about disappointing people?
