​We’ve been sold a lie: grind hard, climb the ladder, and one day you’ll land your “dream job.”

​But here’s the truth: dream jobs don’t exist. If you’re still clinging to that fantasy, you’re playing someone else’s game.

​Join a fun chat with Calvin Zheng and Grace Ling about spicy corporate experiences, side hustles/personal projects, how to make money beyond your day job, living a happy life, and more!

​For our corporate baddies, we can also talk about how you can game the system to get a higher salary and get promoted

​Also disclaimer! We are not anti-corporate. You can learn so much when you work as a designer. But your job should not be your identity because that's sad man
