Navigating A Career Crossroads
Abstract
The case is designed to enable students to critically think about career choices and the factors they can consider before arriving at a career decision. The case introduces the protagonist as grappling with two career choices and would allow the students to think from the perspective of someone choosing a job and a career. It presents rich insights into the dilemmas that students and working professionals are faced with while considering a job opportunity or switching a job or an industry. The case would enable the students to understand the key motivators and challenges an individual considers while making a career-related decision and also assess the impact of frequent job-hopping on one’s career.
