THE DIPLOMAT'S CABINET PODCAST | THE CAREER DIPLOMAT

What happens when the system doesn't let you in — or no longer makes sense to stay in? In this episode of The Diplomat’s Cabinet, we're joined by Sofia Shevchuk — Ukrainian founder of the consultancy VONA and the NGO The Tide — for a candid conversation about leaving the traditional foreign affairs career path and carving out something new. We unravel what it really means to build a non-linear career in international relations, to redefine success beyond titles and institutions (think NATO and the European Parliament), to become fully freelance, and why freedom can be worth the uncertainty.

Whether you're just starting out or deep into your foreign affairs career, this conversation will speak to anyone questioning the path they’ve been told to follow.
