If you’ve been in the same job for five years and feel stuck, that’s your signal to reassess—not panic, but pivot. Start by asking yourself: what parts of your job energize you, and what parts drain you? That helps pinpoint what to lean into next. Take inventory of your skills, strengths, and the things people consistently rely on you for—these are your value drivers. Explore new roles, industries, or paths that align with those, and talk to people doing work you’re curious about. Sometimes clarity comes from conversations, not just introspection. Try a course, side project, or even a mentorship program to test-drive new directions without the pressure of a full leap. Most importantly, set a short-term goal—whether it’s growing in your current role, transitioning roles, or upskilling—and give yourself a 90-day runway to make progress. Feeling stuck is normal—but staying stuck isn’t a plan. This is your chance to grow forward, not just go forward.
