I Had the Perfect Job on Paper... So Why Did I Leave?

What happens when the job that looks perfect on paper is the one quietly making you miserable?

In this episode, Claudia Gasson sits down with Brett Graham to unpack his career transition from management consulting at PWC into a role that actually fits; becoming an Urban Planner at Savills. Brett shares the moment he realised stability wasn't the same as fulfilment, how he identified the transferable skills hiding inside roles that felt unrelated, and the practical steps he took to move forward when he wasn't sure what came next.

If you're stuck in a job that ticks every external box but leaves you flat, this conversation is for you.

We cover:

• How to spot transferable skills you've been undervaluing
• Why comfort is often the biggest barrier to a meaningful career change
• The questions to ask yourself when you know something needs to change but don't know what
• How Brett moved from "this looks good" to "this feels right"
• Practical first steps for anyone considering a pivot
• Whether you're navigating redundancy, burnout, or the slow realisation that your career no longer fits, Waddyado exists to help you find where you belong next.
