The Quarter-Life Leap: Taking Action Towards Your Dream Career
This is for the 20-30somethings who wake up every day for their 9-5, thinking: "this can't be it."
Whether you're still in the fog about where you want to go, or there's a career path in the back of your mind but something's holding you back, you are welcome here.
You'll leave with a real next step: an introduction, an accountability partner, or a plan you start on before you walk out the door.
Applications are reviewed, so the room stays intentional.
Who it's for:
You're in your 20s-30s, at least 2–5 years into your career (this isn't a new-grad event)
You've thought about a career change or a big move, and it scares you a little
You want work that feels aligned, not just a paycheck
You're open to honest conversation with people who've been where you are
Who it's not for:
If work is clock-in, clock-out for you and career fulfilment is not a priority (and that's OK! This just probably won't be the event for you)
If you're looking for a job fair. Nobody here is handing out job offers. It's about creating relationships and determining your next step.
