You can't know for sure, but you can research, plan, and prepare yourself for success. In this practical episode of The YOU Review, host Selina Yankson tackles the fear and uncertainty that comes with major career transitions, offering a roadmap for making informed decisions about your professional future.With change happening faster than ever before, she argues that clinging to sunk costs and outdated career models will only hold you back. Instead, she guides you through a strategic approach to career change that begins with understanding what you truly want, thoroughly researching company culture, and aligning your values with potential employers. Selina challenges the typical pattern of job-hopping between similar toxic environments, asking why so many LinkedIn profiles show a string of "ex-company" experiences that didn't work out.Whether you're facing redundancy, feeling unfulfilled, or simply ready for something new, this episode will help you move from paralysis to action. Selina's honest, no-nonsense approach will challenge you to stop waiting for guarantees and start taking control of your career trajectory before external forces make the decision for you.Key Takeaways:You won't know if a career change is right until you make the move, but you can research and plan strategicallyFocus on company culture and values alignment, not just salary and benefitsRelease sunk costs - the old model of 10-15 year career stability is breaking down rapidlyResearch is "cheap" now.
