• Every month, I write an opinion column for Forbes Russia on careers, leadership, and the changing realities of modern work.
• My articles cover topics such as ambition, burnout, self-awareness, career transitions, workplace behaviour, and the pressures shaping professional life today, with a particular focus on international job markets and global career mobility.
• The themes I write about are deeply informed by my practical work as a career adviser and by my ongoing collaboration with professionals, founders, and companies across sectors and international markets.
• Through this column, I translate real-world career patterns, workplace dynamics, and global labour market shifts into accessible, evidence-informed commentary for a Russian-speaking audience.
