Best early-career advice we’ve got so far (part 1)

The debut season of TFTY was jampacked with insight, international guests, and interesting takeaways. This season we walked away from unhappy jobs ( the-ken.com/po... ), built trust with difficult colleagues ( the-ken.com/po... ), asked for feedback even when we dreaded it ( the-ken.com/po... ), fought for promotions ( the-ken.com/po... ), and bounced back from mistakes ( the-ken.com/po... ). We spoke to forensic psychologists working in maximum-security prisons ( nashaterdeusol... ) and former poker players turned decision strategists ( www.annieduke.... ).
On this episode of TFTY, Akshaya Chandrasekaran and Rahel Philipose (from The Ken’s flagship business podcast Daybreak ( the-ken.com/po... )) gather ‘round the mic to round up their favorite early-career advice of the season. They talk about how they applied that advice to their own lives, share some surprising updates from early-career folks who were on the show, and give a behind-the-scenes look at how the podcast is made each week.
Did Arjun get the promotion? Has Pranav figured out a way to build trust with senior members of his team? How did Harshit eventually get the feedback he so badly wanted? You’ll find answers to these questions and more.

Thank you so much for this episode. I'm a late starter who managed to get a foot in the door at the age of 26. I learnt a lot.
