Frequently Asked Questions

Is it really too late to change careers in your 40s?

Statistically, no. Many people make meaningful career transitions in their 40s and 50s. The fear of it being 'too late' is very common but rarely accurate.

Can I talk about specific career options?

You can talk about anything. Listeners aren't career counselors, but talking through your thinking can bring clarity.

What if I'm afraid of what my family will think?

That fear is worth exploring. Talksy is completely anonymous — say what you wouldn't dare say to your family.

Should I use a career coach instead?

A career coach is valuable for practical planning. Talksy helps with the emotional and psychological side — which often needs to come first.
