We’ve all been there: staring at our CV and wondering if it’s time to make a move. But what about that silent, exhausting “grey zone”: where you aren’t ready to hand in your notice today, but you realise your energy is slowly draining away?
In this co-hosted episode, Karen and Cecilia pull back the curtain on the Pre-Exit Audit: the psychological shift from trying to fix a room that isn’t built for you, to quietly building the door to your next chapter.
Tune in as we discuss:
-
The Tech Stack & Maturity Cap: Knowing when you’ve outgrown an organisation’s data infrastructure or stakeholder appetite.
-
The “Good Job” Trap: Why we feel guilt about leaving roles where the team is great, but individual growth has plateaued.
-
De-Stigmatising Probationary Pivots: Recognising culture and expectation mismatches early without fear of “ruining” your CV.
-
Reclaiming Your Cognitive Energy: How to shift your focus to networking, up-skilling, and portfolio building before burnout hits.
Are you staying loyal to your company at the expense of your own career trajectory? Let’s talk about it.
