The Agenda: Retrenched at 50? Is it really too late to start over?

from Money Matters with Hongbin Jeong and Chua Tian Tian · host MONEY FM 89.3

What happens when a career you've spent decades building suddenly comes to an end? Edgar Tang was retrenched at 50 after four and a half years at a multinational entertainment company. Instead of simply trying to return to his old career, he began documenting what it takes to rebuild his career, confidence and identity after 50. On The Agenda, Hongbin Jeong speaks with content creator Edgar Tang (@edgarafter50) as he shares why retrenchment can hit differently later in life, whether decades of experience can actually work against older jobseekers, and what it takes to reinvent yourself when you're caught between being “too old to hire” and “too young to retire”.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
