Careers can last 40 or more years and span many industries, domains, and roles yet most people only think about their career when it’s time to find another job. Even worse, that’s the only time they invest in their career. What a great way to throw away millions of dollars in earnings and the equivalent in happiness!

In this talk, we’ll take a look at how you can think more proactively about your career and life aspirations and take a systematic, informed, hypothesis driven approach to pursuing your dreams. I’ll challenge you to a reality check of where you are and where you want to go. Finally, you’ll learn how to get better feedback from your manager and peers, understand how recruiters and hiring managers look at you, and learn to leverage networking effectively.
