Episode 14: Finding your own career path with Rebecca Allin
What if the thing you’ve been worrying about in your career… is actually your biggest strength?
In this episode of Raise, we’re joined by Rebecca (Bec) Allin to talk about non-linear career paths and why they might be your secret weapon.
Bec shares her journey into the sector, bringing experience from outside fundraising and carving her own path along the way. We talk honestly about how tough it can be to break into the sector (and why it can sometimes feel like there’s a “right” way in), as well as what happens once you’re in.
Because here’s the thing: progression doesn’t have to mean chasing the next job title.
We explore what it looks like to grow differently, whether that’s building new skills, moving sideways, or shaping a role that actually works for you. Bec also reflects on the pressure to compare yourself to others (we’ve all been there 👀) and why letting go of that timeline can be a game-changer.
If you’ve ever felt like your career path doesn’t quite “fit the mould”, this one’s for you.
