Like many other people in the team, during my time at Scoutbee, I cherished personal values over titles, and the company has always been very welcoming towards me adopting a flexible, adventurous career approach. I’m very grateful. Having said that, whereas I believe that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to career progression, with individuals having the freedom to explore different paths and opportunities, be sure to make your case very clear with your direct management from day 1, as things can easily get lost in the busy day-to-day life. Successful career planning involves finding a balance between ambition, meaningful work, and personal growth. It also involves sharing these with your manager from day 1 so that you can align your values and goals with the company’s, so that everyone wins.
