Work As A Playlist: Why Careers Now Have Tracks, Not Ladders

The ladder is broken. You don’t climb anymore. You curate. Think playlists: side gigs, full time sprints, volunteer projects, startup experiments. Together, they sound like your career.

What changes

  • Linear progression → parallel exploration.
  • Fixed roles → hybrid tracks.
  • One company loyalty → multiple communities.

How to curate

  1. Choose a theme (AI, design, social impact).
  2. Add tracks (projects, gigs, jobs).
  3. Remix every year.
