   Passages Epilogue: One Year Later

   On May 1st, 2020, I started the Passages podcast. What began as a hobby, an adventure, and a risk turned out to be one of the greatest gifts I never could have anticipated. Exactly one year later, our podcast has hit over 10,000 downloads, our community has peaked over 900 strong, our team has made moves in our own lives and careers that we've only ever dreamed of, and you - YOU - are one year braver, brighter, and more brilliant simply because you've showed up every day as your own, true self. In this episode, cheesy as it may be, I took the opportunity to sit down and reflect on what this last year has meant, both as a letter of gratitude to those who joined me in this project AND as my own... passage. I also share an exciting, transformative update with you all: with a new career chapter taking shape, I've made the decision to hit pause on this podcast for the time being. For that reason, we are considering this the epilogue, and the finale (for now). Who knows — maybe we'll meet again in this way soon. But until then, I'm excited to embrace this next chapter for everything it holds, watch as the world we once loved re-opens day by day, and look ahead to everything waiting for us on the other side. I hope you enjoy this reflective episode and update. If you'd like to stay connected, you can always find me on Instagram @chloebelangia. Thank you for being here, friend. Cheers to young professionalism and everything it's taught and continues to teach us along the way.

   50: So You Want to Be a Consultant? The 101 on Strategic Thinking, Case Interview Prep, and Finding Success on Your Terms, ft. Caroline Cusick

   Caroline Cusick is a Senior Strategy Analyst at Accenture—a global consulting and professional services firm—based in Atlanta, Georgia. Caroline received her bachelor’s degree from the Scheller College of Business at Georgia Tech, and in addition to Accenture, interned for The Coca Cola Company in marketing agency operations. If you’re studying (or curious about) business, management, strategy, or the ambiguous world of consulting, this episode is one you don’t want to miss. In this conversation, Caroline and I walk through how she decided to pursue consulting and what it’s taken to navigate her career thus far. Caroline spills tips for surviving the infamous “case interview,” what an *actual* day-in-the-life for her looks like, and advice for college students interested in a similar path.

   49: Moving Coasts, Switching Industries, and Staying Competitive Outside Your Comfort Zone: How to Navigate Multiple Career Moves at Once, ft. Drew Sutton

   Today’s episode is such a special one for me! I invited my boyfriend, Drew Sutton, to share his career story and the major changes he’s made in only a few short years. In 2019, I made the decision to move to California, which presented the opportunity for Drew to consider finding a new role out west, too. Through a series of very intentional strategies, in 2020, Drew was able to transition from a small finance firm in Atlanta, Georgia to a highly competitive sales role for Mulesoft/Salesforce in San Francisco, California. Navigating three pivots all at once took a lot of preparation and confidence but (as Drew found out) wasn’t impossible. In today’s episode, I wanted to bring Drew on to walk through the exact steps he took to make these moves and launch a new career, just in case any of you are looking to switch up your career paths in major ways as well. Our conversation breaks down his story into three distinct pivots: 1) Pivoting industries from finance to sale— why was sales the right move for him, and how did he bridge gaps in his resume to land the role without prior experience? 2) Pivoting from a small firm to a major corporation— what are the pros and cons of both types of companies, and how did he position his smaller-brand experience as competitive for a company like Salesforce? 3) Pivoting from Georgia to California— real talk: how did he feel about moving across the country, what has he learned since, and what advice would he share with anyone else looking to make unfamiliar moves to follow something they believe in? If you’re interested in a major career change, but lacking the confidence to own that such a change is *possible*, this episode is for YOU. ——— Mentioned in today’s episode: Passages Ep. 39 with Emily Sermons (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/passages/id1510172714?i=1000507829993) Mulesoft Careers (https://www.mulesoft.com/careers) The Local (https://www.thrillist.com/venue/drink/atlanta/bar/the-local), Atlanta, GA ——— Stay connected: Connect with Drew on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drew-sutton/ (https://www.linkedin.com/in/drew-sutton/) More about The Passages Project: https://www.thepassagesproject.com/ (https://www.thepassagesproject.com/) Follow The Passages Project on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thepassagesproject/ (https://www.instagram.com/thepassagesproject/)
