Choose the right career

What are the questions I should ask myself when evaluating a new role?

Chuck: It’s also important to think about where you want to be in your career a few years down the line. Do you want to be more of a generalist in your area, or eventually become a subject matter expert? Does the employer provide the opportunity for either?

What if I want to pursue a career that’s in a different direction from my field of study?

Jim: We’ve seen a shift in this direction, and it’s becoming more common. If you find a new career path that gives you joy and enables you to perform better, I’d encourage you to switch careers.
