While today may not seem like the perfect moment to make a major career shift, it’s arguably an ideal time to put a plan in place for the future. Whether you’re eyeing your next role in your existing firm or considering a likely exodus with your entire team, the chaos happening around us can create space for change.

Consider what Stuart Albert, management professor and author of When: The Art of Perfect Timing, said about change in times of crisis: “Change is difficult to manage in the best of times. But I would argue that it is often easier to get going when the outside world is also experiencing a major transition.”

Why? According to Albert, “seismic shifts [even unprecedented events like the COVID-19 crisis] create a new momentum that we can tap into personally.” In other words, he says, when things are in a state of flux, “it is a time when we can more easily start to shift, get unstuck, and maneuver in a different direction.”
