It’s okay to be unsure about your career.

When I first started my career, I was so lost.

Of course, on the outside, it didn’t seem like it.

My first job was at BlackRock - the ultimate place to be for finance and I had just graduated from an Ivy League university

Everyone thought I had everything figured out.

I had great pay, a great work-life balance, and a great name on my resume

Yet, deep down, I was the most unhappy I had ever been.

And I was off to a terrible start.

My first role didn’t play to my strengths and nothing clicked no matter how hard I tried.

It was my first brush with real failure and I hated it.

Was confused.

Kept thinking: Am I destined to build a mediocre career in finance?

But then, I did the only thing I knew I could do: move forward and keep at this perfect-on-paper career because I looked at my peers, people with similar degrees and backgrounds to me, and thought:

”Everyone has their shit together.

It’s just a matter of time before I do too.”

It took me years to realise that that was just a facade.

Everyone was going through their own “post-education transitional period” – a time of major change, a time where nothing’s for sure, a time when the decisions we make carry a lot more weight.

That said, my time at BlackRock was invaluable.

It taught me so much.

Namely, that BlackRock was not where I wanted to be - a certainty that only grew stronger over time.

I became more sure of my values, interests, and passions and after 7 years, took the plunge into fashion.

3 years later, I took another plunge to start my own business.

So here’s my advice: No one’s timeline is the same.

It’s okay that you’re going through your path, even if it looks insanely different than everyone else’s.

You will figure it out.

You will find that path.

Just be sure and confident enough that when you do, you’re ready to take the plunge as well.

I’m rooting for you.
