Why some career moves work (and others don’t)

Most people think career transitions are about résumés and interviews. They’re wrong.

The biggest factor? How you exit your last role. If you don’t close that chapter mentally and emotionally, it will follow you—into your next job, into your leadership presence, and even into the way recruiters perceive you.

So today, we’re cutting through the fluff and breaking down:

1. The hidden factors that make or break career transitions.

2. Why smart, experienced people struggle more than they expect.

3. How to make your next move strategically—not emotionally.

If you’re navigating a career shift—or just want to avoid the common traps—stick around. This is going to be good.
