Career Guidance — Switch, Pivot or Start Fresh

Most career advice comes from people who have stayed in one lane.

I have not.

I started as an engineer at Infosys. Moved into liberal arts. Was part of the founding team of an AI and 3D printing startup that raised $2 million. Built an education nonprofit from scratch and scaled it to 1.5 million students across 10 states. Then went to Harvard, twice, and came back to build again.

I have hired across sectors. I have seen what profit organisations want that nonprofits do not teach you. I have seen what nonprofits offer that corporate careers cannot replicate. I have navigated the founder path, the employee path, and the student path, sometimes simultaneously.

If you are trying to figure out whether to stay in your lane or cross into a new one, I can give you an honest read on what that actually looks like from the inside.

This is a 45-minute open conversation. Bring your specific situation, your current role, where you want to go, what is stopping you. I will tell you what I genuinely think, not what sounds encouraging.

Useful for: career changers moving between sectors, professionals considering a nonprofit or social impact pivot, people choosing between a corporate career and an entrepreneurial path, and anyone trying to make sense of a non-linear journey.`
