    average hours left in your career

    Is a meaningful career a luxury?

    A meaningful career, one that moves the world toward good, is often seen as a financial sacrifice. These jobs are known for taking more time, more effort, more grit, more passion—but giving less in terms of compensation, comfort, or control.

    While the life experience and personal sense of reward these jobs can provide are rarely found another way, the risk of burnout and the inability to provide for a secure personal future is very real. You are left wondering if it’s worth it.

    Are you an Unrewarded Do-Gooder?

    The Unrewarded Do-Gooder = Burnout

    The Unrewarded Do-Gooder = Burnout

    The work you do creates immense value and requires you to sacrifice significant amounts of your time and energy, often at the expense of your well-being and financial stability. You are overwhelmed, burning out, and considering giving up your altruistic pursuits altogether.

    The Well-Rewarded Disruptor = Empowered

    The Well Rewarded Disruptor = Empowered

    You are changing the world for the better and are proud of the work you do. You’re adding value. It’s energizing and you can keep going for the long haul. You feel empowered by making a meaningful contribution while being compensated at a level that fills your cup, allowing you to tap into your highest potential.

    The Replaceable Employee
    = Resentment

    The Replaceable Employee = Resentment

    You feel no comradery or connection toward the company you work for and do what you need to for the paycheck and short-term benefits. A promotion is unlikely, and day-to-day your job is predictable and repetitive. You feel underwhelmed and perhaps disheartened, knowing you have more to offer.

    The Uninspired Achiever
    = Regret

    The Uninspired Achiever = Regret

    You are an ambitious individual who is driven by financial incentives but struggles to find inspiration and meaning in your work. This often leads to feeling like you lack purpose and you’re setting yourself up for regret.

      Contribution + compensation IS possible!

      The Work That’s Worth It method will help you get there.

      “By building a career that balances contribution with compensation, you can shift into being a Well-Rewarded Disruptor, making significant positive change while meeting your personal needs.”

      HELLO FUTURE LEADERS

      A message from Georgi

      When I graduated from UC Berkeley back in 1994, I wanted to do good in the world. The opportunities that I had access to were largely volunteer positions with limited future growth, and they did not match my ambition. So, I engaged in work where I could develop skills fast and was well-rewarded financially; however, the work felt hollow and meaningless.

      A few years ago, I was reading the Harvard Business Review when a statistic smacked me in the face: the average career is 90,000 hours. So much of our valuable time here on Earth. And what if we used as many of our career hours as we could for good? My family of five alone would contribute 450,000 hours. My Harvard Business class could theoretically contribute upwards of 72 million hours.

      Fast forward to the present, and Work That’s Worth It is here. I’ve had the privilege to work with numerous individuals wrestling with the same dilemma I once confronted.

      Work That’s Worth It is more than a mere methodology; it’s my heartfelt contribution to bettering our world. By helping as many of you as I can, we can compound our time to solve humanity’s major dilemmas. And we can do it without sacrificing our personal needs.

      Every day, more businesses are emerging across markets that allow workers to do amazing work without skipping the reward.

      If any part of my narrative resonates with you—if you’re grappling with similar feelings, challenges, struggles, hopes, or dreams—consider this an open invitation to join us! Your aspirations are our driving force, and we’re here to serve individuals just like you. I eagerly anticipate you joining the Work That’s Worth It family!
