I have been working for about 1 year and still relatively fresh in my industry. I am wondering, in this COVID situation, will it affect my career growth?

So much uncertainty now, I am wondering should I start a side hustle during this crisis? Or should I hoard on my emergency funds?

Depends on the impact of COVID-19 on your industry.

If it is hit badly, the companies usually will be looking to conserve cash and try to ride through this. In this sense, activities such as training or overseas postings will be reduced or stopped. So opportunities for you to learn and grow could be lesser. Also employment opportunities within the industry could be impacted as well. The economic recovery might take a while.

Regardless of situation, if you have an opportunity for a side hustle, you should consider it. And continue to build your emergency funds.

How would your career advice be given differently for someone who is a fresh graduate, someone who is a 2-year working professional, and someone who is at their mid-career?

I have been working for about 6 years in the banking industry. Should I further my studies by taking a masters in applied science to future proof my career?

I am currently 32 years old and have been working in the banking, accounting and finance industry since I graduated from university. I am looking to do a career switch but need advice. Can you help?

Any other fresh grads out there? What's your biggest adulting fear? I graduated this year and found a traineeship... But I still feel like I'm failing in every aspect.. My work, home, personal self..?
