Recently, I had an interesting conversation with a young professional who was working at an emerging consulting tech startup. She was one of the best-performing employees, but due to changes in the management board, her morale was badly affected. She was in a dilemma and confused about what to do next. She felt that the situation was either super good or depressing, depending on how she looked at it. Many employees, friends, and managers were leaving one by one, and she couldn't see any future for herself. It had been three months, and she was still struggling to make a decision.
