Finding Meaningful, Mission-Driven Work

Talk given at DevFest MN 2023. Recording forthcoming.

------

In order to help the environment, I recently quit my job to get a job in climate tech. Perhaps you, too, are interested in a career change to do more meaningful work.

It turns out that the search for mission-driven companies is a different beast than your normal job search. Requiring that a company’s mission matches your values adds extra difficulty to finding your next role.

In this talk, I’ll share my personal journey with all the lessons I learned along the way. Maybe some of it will be helpful to you!
