Are we going to work more hours or fewer hours in the future? This is a question that is being asked quite a lot. There’s an interesting debate going on around this, and I explore both sides and give my opinion in this episode of The Future in 5. I’m trying to see where this is going in the next 5-10 years, so there’s a lot that goes into my answer. I’m curious to hear what you think. Tune in for the full discussion and leave me your comments!

I mean your first job out of college where you had to write cover letters, interview, and negotiate a salary. I remember mine vividlu.

What is the dress code in your company and how does that impact you? Tune in and let me know!
