Episode notes
Reassess Job Jumping Strategy In A Cooler Market
- Adjust career strategy to the job market: up-or-out worked post-COVID but returns to job-jumping have converged with staying put.
- Tu cites data that job jumpers and stayers now earn similar outcomes so internal growth matters.
Build Wealth With Small Sustainable Habits
- Make small, sustainable financial changes instead of drastic resets that fail.
- Tu recommends weekly habits like opening a high-yield savings account or automating 10% of direct deposit to build momentum.
Pair AI Tools With Licensed Human Advisors
- Use AI for non-licensed financial guidance but combine it with licensed human advisors for personal complex issues.
- Tu built AskDolly as an SEC-registered RIA to route complex personal questions to CFPs and avoid unlicensed sole-AI advice.
