After Hours: Golden Handcuffs

​A 5 to 9 Club evening

​We both work(ed) in tech, and we kept asking the same question: is this really it?

​One of us left. One of us stayed.

​The job pays. The life looks right from the outside. And still — another version of your life you haven't built yet. That's the golden handcuffs.

​This evening is for talking about them.

​What to expect
☕ Drinks with people who get it
🗺 One exercise — what keeps you, what you'd trade it for
💬 Hear how everyone else is playing the same hand
👋 Leave clearer, with new contacts if you want them

​Who it's for
People with a good job and a quiet itch to build something of their own. Bills to pay, maybe a family to feed, and a plan you keep almost starting. You don't need it figured out. You just need to know the tension.

​About After Hours
The conversation-evening series by 5 to 9 Club — one topic each edition, talked through honestly over drinks. Golden Handcuffs is where we start.

​Hosted by Johanna (the one who left) and Nate (the one who stayed).
