The future of full-time employment is changing.

And you should start investing in your own career optionality.

Last week was my last day at a full-time role. I don’t have another job lined up - instead, I’m going back to my solopreneur baseline.

I’ve been fairly open about my career journey - if you’ve followed me for a while, you know this isn’t my first time walking away from traditional employment (read: why I quit full-time roles). I first made the leap into solopreneurship six years ago, after realizing that the full-time leadership path I had fought hard for was actually pulling me away from the work I loved most.

And so I went ‘solo’: built a portfolio of work around my skills, and learned how to grow a business around my own product, which is my brain. Everything was ahmazing, but then boom - I grabbed a full-time opportunity with Dropbox (read: Why I ‘un-quit’ full-time roles) that led people to ask questions, the most pressing being “Is solopreneurship dead?”.

Solopreneurship is not dead. It’s so alive that I just jumped straight back into it.

Is full-time employment dead?

Haha, not quite…
