What does it actually take to leave a big tech career and bet on yourself?
In this episode, I sit down with Maritza Bonano, Co-Founder of ChangePath and former leader at Meta, where she helped scale a new business line to over a billion dollars in revenue. Maritza has navigated four major career changes, from Deutsche Telekom to early-stage startups to Meta, and now back to founder mode. Her story is about more than a pivot. It is about knowing your non-negotiables, staying flexible on everything else, and having the courage to move even when the market is telling you to stay put.
We’ll cover:
• How she made bold career moves without having all the answers
• The real reason high performers stay stuck in jobs they’ve outgrown
• What actually goes through your mind when you leave a “safe” job
• Why most people struggle to make a career change, and what to do instead
• The mindset and tools that help you move from confusion to clarity
