Our advice: Start before you need to make a move.

With November approaching, it’s tempting to say, “I’ll wait until January.”
But if a career change is on your mind for 2027, start laying the groundwork now.

→ Update your resume and LinkedIn profile with measurable accomplishments.
→ Think about what you want from your next role—beyond compensation.
→ Reconnect with people in your industry.
→ Build a relationship with a recruiter who understands your market.
→ Be open to a conversation, even if you’re comfortable where you are.

Hiring timelines vary by company and industry. There is no single month that guarantees the right opportunity.

You don’t have to rush a decision. But you can start preparing to make a good one.

Your next chapter can begin with a conversation today.
