We left the corporate ladder and built a bouncy castle instead…
It’s messy, chaotic, and still better than burnout.
We’re getting candid about:
Climbing the corporate ladder… then jumping off
Job hopping, quitting, and starting over (on purpose)
Consulting after layoffs (aka corporate recovery mode)
Why promotions aren’t always worth the panic attacks
The Tiffany bracelet that almost made $8/hour worth it (almost)
Plus: banks, hiding at Microsoft, and the most wild career advice you’ve ever heard.
This one’s for the girlies who were told to “just stick it out” and decided to do literally anything else.
