You're burned out at work. Before you go looking for a new job, ask yourself: What are you running TO, or what are you running away FROM?

In this episode of Career Convos with Nikki, I'm talking about burnout, corporate drama, and the challenges of networking in a remote world. With over one-third of employees looking for new jobs and more than 7.8 million people having already left their positions, burnout is a significant issue we can't ignore. I'll explore a crucial question: Are you running to something better or running away from your current situation?

As you consider leaving your job, it's important to reflect on a few key aspects. I'll discuss what to evaluate before making a career move and how to navigate the corporate landscape during these turbulent times.
