Hopefully, your first job out of school is something you can see yourself doing for a long time! But maybe details in your personal life change, or your interests change, or your work environment is not what you hoped it would be. This session will highlight the stories of several professionals who made the difficult decision to change paths early in their careers. We will discuss when they knew it was time to make their change, lessons they learned from the process, and transferable skills to develop and prioritize throughout your professional career.
