Our BIGGEST career dilemmas: Rebuilding your careers in 2025

Building strong career planning habits is essential for achieving long-term career health and success. Remember that time you set your sights on climbing the corporate ladder? So, what changed? Trends like "quiet quitting" and "girl moss" reflect how our attitudes towards work and careers have evolved. While many of us once aspired to managerial roles and corporate prestige, burnout and major global shifts have led many to prioritise personal well-being over relentless ambition.

But for women entering or navigating the workforce, it’s not all doom and gloom. The career landscape is constantly shifting, presenting fresh opportunities to build a fulfilling career—if you know how to plan for it. Whether you’re embracing the "girl boss" mindset or exploring the appeal of a “lazy girl job,” the question is less about labels and more about what career progression truly means. Is it just about climbing a ladder, or is it about creating a career that aligns with your goals and values?

Feeling stuck or unsure about your next steps? It’s never too early—or too late—to plan for your career. Visit wsg.gov.sg to explore how Workforce Singapore can support your career health and help you take charge of your future!
