Switching companies every few years wasn’t the norm, and changing careers was even rarer.Today’s career trajectories aren’t so scripted and linear. Technology has given rise to new positions that never before existed, which means we are choosing from a much broader set of career options—and have even more opportunities to find work that lights us up.
