Tim Dhondt's Linkedin Analytics

I left the corporate ladder just a few months into a graduate traineeship. On paper: big brand, big salary, big future. In reality: it just didn’t feel like me. So I walked away. What looked like going down the ladder led me to an early-stage climate startup. No title. No prestige. No German company car. From the outside, it looked like I was going backwards. But for me, it was a giant leap forward. For the first time, I was building something I believed in. Learning fast. Making real decisions. Feeling alive at work. That shift changed everything. As we built the team and started hiring, I noticed something: The most talented people weren’t just looking for a job, they were searching for something meaningful. I wasn’t surprised to hear this from the brightest minds. Because work that feels pointless, for a mission you don’t believe in? That’s not a career. That’s a slow burnout plan. That insight sparked Goodshift. A new kind of career platform, for people who refuse to waste their potential. We guide mission-driven talent through bold career moves, so they can make their work count. ——— If you’re: → Craving work that aligns with your values, culture, and skills → Building a mission-driven team → Or just done chasing titles that don’t mean anything to you Follow along.
