"It's much easier to find a new job in a different company than to find a new job in an existing company," she said, which is unfortunate, but it does not have to be that way. Listen in to hear her practical advice on what anyone can do to get an inside gig, like: Work on cross-functional projects Understand the skills you have and where the company is going to identify the potential match Get curious: ask people what they do. Interview others to learn what they work on Sell your boss on how your time and talent can be optimized Seek inside gigs to learn in the flow of work, and more…  Another thing she said that is absolutely true: "Your next job doesn't exist yet".
