Merit

I am currently working as an optometrist in New York and I am interested in moving out of patient care and exploring other opportunities.

How far into considering other careers have you looked into? If you're in the early days of deciding, it could be worth taking stock of what you enjoyed about your prior roles to understand what you want more of, and what you want less of.

On our blog we recently published a post about and how to evaluate where to go next when you're re-evaluating your career:

Take a look - hopefully that will be helpful for evaluating where to go next. And if there's anything else I can answer, feel free to message me or book time on my Merit calendar and I'll see how else to help!
