Bookfilter: Job choice guidance for driven, early career women

Post date: 2024-04-24 03:56:22

My S/O is facing an inflection point in her career and considering her options. I'd like to find some well-regarded outside advice that might resonate with her.

My S/O is a motivated, accomplished early-30s professional with a graduate degree in her field and a desire to work hard somewhere her values sync with the organization's mission. Think NGOs, foundations, or government agencies that have good staff development/mentorship structures. We are NYC-based.

She has found, though, that two recent jobs pushed her toward burnout, did not recognize her contributions including taking on work well outside her (under-promoted) level and scope, and were somewhat cynical and mismanaged environments.

I would like to find a book or two on career change and finding one's best job fit from a modern, probably millennial, innately feminist perspective. These books would ideally be serious and useful - some irreverence is OK - instead of reactive/angry or comedic.

Thank you in advance for your recommendations!
