Gen Z is separating their professional life from personal identity like never before.
They switch jobs strategically, chasing higher salaries and better opportunities.
Career minimalism isn’t about avoiding work—it’s about selecting roles that match personal goals.
Gen Z focuses on upskilling and seeking roles that align with their values and support mental well-being.
A Robert Walters survey found that 52% of Gen Z participants prefer to avoid such roles.
According to the survey, 72% of Gen Z respondents indicated they favor growth as individual contributors.
Gen Z increasingly looks for roles that offer purpose, sustainability, and opportunities for growth.
Young professionals now value stability not only in finances but also in their mental and emotional well-being.
To match their career with these priorities, Gen Z shows greater willingness to adapt and acquire new skills.
This shift enables Gen Z professionals to steer clear of overworking and pursuing unrealistic targets.
