Where You Live Matters More Than You Think

Does where you live determine your career success?

We spend so much time talking about resumes, networking, interview skills, and AI—but what if one of the biggest factors shaping your career is something you never chose in the first place?

In this episode of Work Hotline, Sho explores how geography, timing, government policies, and the economy influence your career opportunities. From graduate unemployment in the United States to China's nationwide hiring campaign and Europe's dramatically different youth employment rates, we break down why two equally talented people can have completely different career outcomes simply because of where they live.

More importantly, we answer the question: What parts of your career can you actually control?

Whether you're debating moving to a new city, relocating for work, or wondering if your hometown is limiting your opportunities, this episode is for you.
