Скачать или смотреть Life Lessons Learned: Mid-Career Bridge

After walking away from Carnival Cruise Lines after eight years, I found myself in full-on job search mode with a young family and bills that didn’t care about my pride.
​
In this Life Lessons Learned episode, I share:

How I landed at an international software company in a hybrid role—implementing their product and trying to sell it—even though I wasn’t a developer

Why the “land and expand” model sounded great on paper but turned out to be far more challenging in practice

How that short six-month stint became the financial bridge my family needed while I recalibrated my career path

This story is for job seekers and leaders facing non-ideal options. Sometimes you take a role not because it’s perfect, but because it’s the right tradeoff for the moment—provided you understand the risks, the rewards, and the timeline for your next move.
