But also be aware when you have a secure, high paying job. Sometimes staying put is a good decision. I am 61 with a union job. Given the age discrimination out there, I would be crazy to leave this high paying, low stress job.
Setting boundaries and saying NO!!! especially quitting a job when they put me on a misguided demeaning PIP was best thing ever. Think of yourself first and act like a free agent.
I have always been able to pick up hints and read the writing on the wall. On a few times I beat my jerk boss to the punch and left their ass hanging before they could find someone else to replace me.

I’m embarrassed to admit that as a women in my field with over 15 year’s experience, I only recently (in the past 2 years) started negotiating my salary. Always negotiate folks, and learn the basics on how to do so effectively!
I don't regret jumping ship as soon as the writing on the wall told me something was going down or just wrong with the company. I may have changed jobs a lot, but I am way better off not sticking around to just get laid off.
I am so glad you have been through it, so you could share with us, without any bitter! Nice job!! 1. Investing in myself! 2. Enjoy family time!! 3. Set "stretch (1 yr/5yr/10yr) " goals. 4. Not giving up too soon- stick with what works!! 5. Build a network and maintain. 6. Leave a bad relationship (personal or professional). 7. Vacation time is to RECHARGE!! 8. Develop on your own brand! 9. Leave a job that doesn't value your contributions! 10. Establish boundaries! 11. Learn to say NO. 12. Reclaim your power! Worth typing every word!
So far I don’t regret to have lived a frugal life style in which I was able to work roughly 4 years and take one year off. I have done that 6 times already and I am 56.
You advertise courses on job searching, but you know what else I'd buy from you? A course on public speaking. No ums or ahs, clear tone and sincerity, and perfect segues. 👍You rock!
I spent only 7 months at a job before I had to leave, I was hired for a certain IT position, I actually never got to do that job because day 1 I was "filling in" for other lower level positions that had resigned. when i tendered my resignation my boss said, "well we want to get you to what you were hired for". I said thanks but no thanks. As it turns out that might have been the best career move I have made in 18 years in professional IT. It led to having a salary of nearly double in 6 years since I left that job! Opportunities have come becuase I took control of that situation, left a bad job, and found what I was looking for! I didnt know it at the time, but that was my "CEO of my own career" moment!
Your employer has no loyalty to you. I worked with a few bad employers when I was younger, they were brutal but toughened me up, made me more resilient and gave me useful experience that got me a job with a better employer with great benefits. Have a good day.
Manager logic: Doesn't trust us enough to pay us before doing a task/project above our paygrade, expects us to trust them to actually keep their promise of a raise.
Your channel has helped me land a dream job where i got a promotion and overall better terms for my employment. Thank you for making the content that you do! It helped people like me to be the CEO of my own career.
One major thing that I don’t regret doing is taking your advice after finding your channel when I became unemployed back in November 2022, and becoming the CEO of my career. It took a little soul-searching and some encouragement from others, but eventually starting my own consulting business and taking charge of my own career (while still job-hunting, mainly for the benefits that come with a full-time job or W-2). I don’t regret doing that at all. I do need to take your advice that you mentioned here about spending more time with family because I have had my head down moving full steam ahead with this business and trying to get clients, but I really need to turn it off and spend time with my kids. Like you said, we don’t get this time back. They are only this age one time. Great video!
I was a mature student/graduate. I was 26 when I started my undergraduate degree.. I had some interesting work and life experience before my degree studies, I had to learn some things the hard way etc but when I was ready (when I knew I was ready not when someone else tells you you are), there was no stopping me, I made the most of the opportunity (s) given to me and aced my degree, I ended up on a grad scheme with a big four consultancy firm and fast forward I work in the government sector, it's really good especially if you have a degree. I worked abroad in my younger years and before that a string of deadend jobs etc which made me miserable etc. I now have a degree from a prestigious university in the UK and know my future is bright. Have a good day reader.
I have been binge watching your videos for the past 2 weeks. I wanted to say a huge thank you as I just received my dream job offer! It's a big step up in my career and something I have been working towards. This is the second time I have applied for this role and they said it was clear I had learnt from the first time, really polished my answers and I even beat out an internal employee. Thank you for all your insight and free content. I truly believe it is what gave me the edge.
You have the remarkable ability to tell me exactly what I need to hear at the exact time I need to hear it Bryan! Thanks for that. Your advice is pure gold.
You've come far and without this channel I wouldn't have gotten the insights into landing my recent role. Your channel brings a ton of value even if it didn't in the beginning. I hope you all the success.
“No. I’m able to do it occasionally but this is the norm, then we either need to either hire another person or we need to reevaluate my compensation.” Makes sense, and the hope you’ll be afraid to assert yourself and set normal boundaries.
What you said about your young son coming into your office 🥺🥹😍 so cute… you’ll miss those days and I love your outlook on the balance between career and family
I also don't regret being selfish and ruthless with my career goals and networking. I have endless patience for real go getters and choose to surround myself with a good network of good people that compliment my life. I have no patience for lazy useless people etc and have no sympathy for their failures or lack of progression. I learned that hard work and sacrifices and putting others first are a waste, health and wellness and boundaries are more important. I don't regret having a work life balance and being able to leave work at work every day. I am selfish with my goals and networking and prospects, I wouldn't change a thing (except for having that attitude in my younger years). Have a good day reader.
I don't regret of giving my point of view and say no to things against my ethic, values or I simply didn't agree even if it would cost my job. At the end knowing that I did the correct thing gives me inner peace
Thank you for this. My best friend died unexpectedly and my boss has been making me feel like shit for missing work for the funeral because it's supposed to be in his day off and he had been working so much lately. As if I planned the death just to fuck up his day off.
Yes yes yes!!! My son is working in his own career now, but there are way too many late nights I spent working instead of spending time with my family. It’s easy to lose focus, so I’m glad you’re learning how precious this time of life is while your son is young. Life is way too short to miss out on moments with people we love.
I am a fan of your work. And I resonated very much with a lot of what you said here. I am not going to tell you to ignore the bad reactions, but I do believe that they come from various frustrations, and not from a healthy feedback regarding your effort or the quality of your content.
Can you do a video on the post-labor economy? There's a guy I used to work with and he can't find a job. He went into one interview and he showed them his very impressive resume. They put it to the side and said, "That's great, but what value can you provide that AI cannot?" He couldn't answer the question. He left the interview feeling like an antique. Resumes and experience are over. Everything is ChatGPT and AI now. If you don't have machine learning experience, you're done for. The post-labor economy is upon us and it is terrifying.
❤ your channel! Thank you so much. I’ve been laid off five months now. I watched your motivational video and yip inspired me to take the weekend off and take my dog out today so happy I did thank you

My biggest regret was not becoming self-employed sooner or with financial investing sooner. No one on their deadbed wishes they worked more before kicking the bucket, but many regrets working too much & spending less time with their loves ones.😮
Hi I needed an advice on the same...I was working as a software engineer for 1.5 years in a development project .later once the project was over..I was put into a support related project.i am in that project for almost 2.5 years. almost most of the time I am sitting idle without any work..and i am scared if I will loose all the skills that I learned in that 1.5 years due to which i am feeling very demotivated and frustrated and blank. . I don't feel like switching as well due to the current situation of recession .I don't know what to do..to get out of this situation. I enquired for better opportunities within the company but it's seem i have got nothing. Does this usually happen in the Tech industry?If so what is the solution to get out of this situation?Can anyone please give me any advice on the same..😢
B. Training that employers want, and you get a kick out of personally, spot on, time management for hobbies/families etc, again spot on, small confidence builders, spot on, networking-oh heck yes, leaving relationships, yup, taking a vacation, oh heck big yes, marketing yourself, yes, boundaries, no problem with today's job market, personal power-stop on again. Each point you made is the truth in today's job market. Again, you would give I/O psychologist a run for their money.
You're overplaying the "CEO of your career". While a good point, you overplay it way too much as this point and it become a sore spot that really grate the ear instead of a selling point for your courses, you should vary your catch phrases. Great video with very good points as always though.
I have reclaimed power by choosing poverty disability over extortion based needs meeting. I had an epiphany the other day when I realized I'd rather die without getting my needs met, than die an exploited human being. That was after I fully accepted that the system can't meet my needs because it's designed to withhold needs to induce servitude. So, I'm happy. Why? Because I've accepted I'll never get my needs met and I will die young under this system. Within that framing, I'm free to do whatever I want. What I want more than anything else, is for these corporations to feel pain, and for the system to collapse. I can't do this by working for the system under the guise that it's meeting my needs when it clearly isn't. If you're out there reading this, understand that you will not have your needs met and you will die an early death. From there, be free to live.
Maybe the reason why you have few followers on twitter is because people seeking to grow their careers are usually not on twitter. I tell you that from the perspective of someone from a 3rd world country, and the perception I have on twitter is that it's filled with SJW teenagers and young adults who have 1st world minimal problems compared to the rest of the world, and because they dont have real problems they seek things to complain about in every little thing. That`s just my perception and opinion though, of course there must be great content there, I just think it's not worth the time, and youtube for example has wayy more valuable and useful content.
Don’t be afraid to cut ties for a better opportunity…. It’s always a risk but you won’t get anywhere without taking risks either
But also be aware when you have a secure, high paying job. Sometimes staying put is a good decision. I am 61 with a union job. Given the age discrimination out there, I would be crazy to leave this high paying, low stress job.
Setting boundaries and saying NO!!! especially quitting a job when they put me on a misguided demeaning PIP was best thing ever. Think of yourself first and act like a free agent.
I have always been able to pick up hints and read the writing on the wall. On a few times I beat my jerk boss to the punch and left their ass hanging before they could find someone else to replace me.
