How morality can guide career choices
Workers want employers to match their values. But alignment starts with knowing what matters and making career decisions based on those priorities. Experts write in Harvard Business Review that professionals experience "moral reckonings," or instances when they realize what they are doing does not align with who they want to be. Those moments steer future career choices. Listen to them to know if your career is aligned with your values. Then reconsider "purity" rules in your profession. Are they causing you to make large, repeated sacrifices? If so, look for a better blend of pay and purpose. Also, find communities that share your values. They can provide needed validation.
