How many of you want to continue this career till you retire? I know I started off in this field because I wasn't able to find a job in the area that I have a degree in, which is psychology. Four years later, I don't really want to go back anyway and feel like I could do this for the rest of my life.

Funny enough, I also landed in hiring because it wasn’t my original career plan. Over time, though, I’ve come to really enjoy it and can absolutely see myself staying until retirement. There’s a unique satisfaction in finding great talent and helping people shape their careers.

This is my 3rd career and I'm in my late 30s. I am 6 years in and have no plans to change careers yet, but I'm sure I will in the future. That has nothing to do with the industry and everything to do with me. I thrive on change and prefer the variety in my work life rather than trying to stick around and climb the ladder.

I've stayed in the field I studied in university, but i'm always so impressed by others who are able to pivot so easily!

I don’t really think about it. I’m not sure what I’ll be doing long-term. I’m not sure when or if I’ll be able to retire. I’ve just been in sort of a state of take things as they come.
