Oh, hey! I have a fun idea for us.

See, I'm building something I wish existed when I was drowning in career confusion: real data on what's actually happening in our careers right now.

Not like the corporate employee surveys we’re all sick and skeptical of, but honest answers from mid-career folks like you who are figuring out what "going places" even means anymore.

Here's the deal:

👉 You spend approx. 7 minutes answering my questions about where you are, what's working, what's broken, and what you're trying next.

👉 I turn everyone's answers into a State of Modern Careers dashboard that shows you:

• What modern careers really look like and how your peers are navigating career confusion, change, and growth

• Which tools and hacks are actually making life easier

• What your peers are paying for, pivoting to/from, and betting on next

• The language to describe what you're going through

Ooh, fun! Let’s start the survey → 

Here’s what’s inside:

✔️ The roadblocks keeping you stuck
✔️ The goals giving you energy
✔️ Your real experience with layoffs, job searching, and unemployment
✔️ Tools, systems, and productivity hacks you actually use

After the survey closes next Friday 2/6 at midnight Eastern, you’ll get:

📊 The full dashboard: Salary ranges, tool recommendations, pivot strategies, and direct quotes from people in the same boat

🎯 Early access before I share it publicly

🧠 The receipts:

• Feel less alone in your struggles and sticking points

• See opportunity in what others are trying

• Discover which tools, apps, hidden gems are making life easier for others

• Back up your career decisions with data

The catch? I need at least 500 responses to make this legit. So if you've ever thought, "I wish I knew what everyone else was doing," this is your chance to help build that answer.

Contribute to the dashboard→ 

My promise: None– I repeat none– of your personal info will ever be shared beyond this survey. Not with brand partners, not with organizations, and not with any of my nosey friends (jk, they’re not that nosey). Anything you choose to share (email, name, etc.) is only so I can send you the dashboard and invite you to free events or resources you'd actually want. That's it.

You give 7 minutes to get the full picture.

Let's build this together!!
