This interactive website features useful exercises for you to complete in order to discover your “path,” find your purpose, and get hired.
You don’t have to go in any particular order. Start with blocks that best fit you and where you currently are in life. There’s no perfectly linear path.
80,000 Hours
The founders of 80,000 hours started the site because they wanted to help as many people as they could lead purposeful careers.
The site is based on in-depth research alongside academics at Oxford on how graduates can make the biggest difference possible with their careers, both through overall career choice and within a given field.
With this mission in mind, it provides:
- An online career guide and supporting articles and tools. The guide tells you what to look for in a high-impact career, recommends high-impact options you might not have thought of, and gives you a step-by-step process for making career decisions.
- In-person advice such as its workshop and one-on-one follow up.
- Links to a global community of people who want to work together to have the greatest positive impact possible.
- For much more detail on its progress and plans, see its annual evaluations.
Blind
Blind is new social network where professionals at top companies like Google and Microsoft spend an average of 35 minutes of their day. And I can totally see why—it’s completely addicting.
You’re totally anonymous so you can complain, ask questions you would never dare to ask IRL, and get advice (and referrals) from people at top companies.
Quartz at Work
Quartz at Work is a blog that teaches you how to be a better manager, build your career, and navigate the modern workplace.
Remote Stories
Remote Stories is a website where remote workers can anonymously post their experiences, thoughts, concerns, opinions and, of course, general ups/downs.
You can react to posts with:
Agree/Haha me too
Shit, that is scary/I’m worried about this too
BrandYourself
For the very low price of free, BrandYourself helps you own the search results for your name.
And in a world where the overwhelming majority of recruiters are googling your name before even the first interview, this website is a MUST.
Should I Work For Free?
Who’s ready to stop working for free? Hopefully you are!
If you have any doubts, consult this handy website/chart.
Start in the middle and work your way to the answer!
PayScale
PayScale has this interactive survey/quiz, which will help you determine how much you’re worth, whether you want to know if you’re underpaid or just evaluating a job offer or two.
Paysa
Paysa’s mission is to empower employees with the information and data they need to make informed decisions about their career.
Paysa provides users with the information to answer:
- What jobs are available to me and how much would I make at these jobs?
- Is this a good company to work for?
- Is my job offer fair? What should I negotiate?
- Is my current pay package fair relative to my peers?
- Do I deserve a raise, and if so, for how much?
- When will I be promoted?
- How can I increase my market value?
