@gabriela_flax: I thought a lot about staying in tech + climbing the ladder vs building my own portfolio career (Ie. having multiple income streams instead of one 9-5 job). Ultimately, I knew that when I wanted kids, a traditional 9-5 wasn’t what I saw for myself BUT I still wanted to use the skills + knowledge I had to build a career that was even bigger. So during trimester zero (the 1-1 years before kids) I made the leap to building different income streams across coaching, fractional work, and content. Comment NEWSLETTER to get the full breakdown of how I’m building an even bigger career with more 💸 + time flexibility than I ever had in tech 🪐🪐 PS. There is absolutely nothing wrong with having a family + a 9-5 job! It’s not the set up I want when that day eventually comes A: because I have too many things I want to do at once, and B: my family is far away and I want to spend time with them without being limited to PTO. #portfoliocareer #trimesterzero #nonlinearcareer #familyplanning
