• Explore options and network: Whether staying in a current job or seeking new paths, actively researching and networking is crucial for career revival.  
• Seek support and communicate: Avoid isolation by discussing setbacks openly with mentors or trusted colleagues who can provide guidance and encouragement.
• Trust intuition and evaluate: Pay attention to gut feelings signaling misalignment with goals and consider alternative paths after thorough evaluation.
• Accept risk and persevere: Success often involves risks and occasional failures; persistence and learning from experiences are essential to bounce back effectively.
