About this episode

This episode discusses how career advice has evolved and what professionals should consider in today's workplace.

Professional advice for 2026 may look very different from the advice people received earlier in their careers. In this episode, we break down the results of a LinkedIn poll that asked which piece of career advice turned out to be wrong. From "always say yes" to "never change jobs," we'll explore why some well intentioned guidance no longer fits today's workplace and what professionals should consider instead.
