About this episode

Pip Northeast discusses outdated career advice for women and shares her personal experiences.

Pip Northeast is the breakout star of Netflix’s My Brilliant Career, currently one of the Top 10 shows in the world. But forget everything you’ve been told about getting ahead at work. After chatting about taking on one of Australia’s most iconic stories - and the woman behind it all, Miles Franklin, we put the career advice we’ve all been fed to the test. Should you really “lean in”? Do you actually need a mentor? Can you be in love and have a career?  Pip gives us her verdict on the best, worst and most outdated career advice, with insights into her own experiences.  My Brilliant Career is out now on Netflix.
