    Is the Corporate Grass Greener on the Other Side? | S5E13

    Calling all job hoppers out there! We're joined by Thomas this time to discuss our experience with changing jobs as we advance our career, and we're definitely not the only ones strategically moving to another job as a way to keep growing professionally. What are the criteria do we use to determine if it's time to move on? What have our experiences been like?

    Is The First Cut The Deepest? | S5E11

    Are first-time experiences the most memorable? If it's a bad experience, is it hardest to overcome the first time and does it get easier? Conversely, if it's a good one, do you tend to remember only the first time it happens?
