What if the true measure of success isn’t your title or salary - but how you feel on an ordinary Tuesday?

That’s the question at the heart of the new Shameless Careers episode.

So often we chase future milestones - promotions, accolades, the next big thing - but it’s how we feel day to day that shapes our happiness much more than any title or status could (which, by the way, is an 'infinite ladder,' as we discuss in this episode).

This is an episode I’ve been looking forward to for a long time: a raw and honest interview with Fernando Bignotto, who made a 180° career pivot from strategy consulting to fine furniture making.

We talk about:

• What it’s like to realise your career isn’t playing to your strengths
• What it feels like to truly love your work (spoiler: you miss it on holidays and feel sad when projects end)
• Why, for some people, corporate work can feel too abstract and not “real” - and what they crave instead is physical, tangible work
• The tough financial trade-offs of leaving a high-paying job - and what the other side looks like

I really loved our conversation with Fernando, and I hope you do too. And remember: the ultimate litmus test for career (and, I’d argue, a successful life) is simple - are you excited about your day ahead?
