For more than a decade, I worked in recruitment – hiring, leading teams, and training people to recruit well. Later, I coached professionals transitioning into tech. It was meaningful work. I loved the people, the problem-solving, and the energy of helping someone step into something new. But over time, something in me shifted quietly. On the surface, everything still looked fine. I was doing good work, trusted in my role, and moving through a career that made sense on paper. Inside, though, I felt disconnected – like I was going through the motions of a role I’d outgrown.
