Millennials: "They've experienced their Boomer bosses and said to themselves: I'll do it differently"
Millennials are 32 to 45, well-educated, often in leadership positions - and are increasingly questioning their lives. Why? And what sets them apart from Gen Z? An expert provides answers.
The "Millennial Career Crisis" is being widely discussed on social media platforms such as Instagram and TikTok. Millennials, who have followed the traditional path of education, internships, and hard work, are feeling uncertain and betrayed as they face high living costs, a tough job market, and a broken promise of security and career advancement.
According to Deloitte, nearly half of millennials felt financially insecure in 2025, and it may take them around 14 years to save enough for a home, compared to 7 years for baby boomers. As a result, many millennials are redefining success, seeking alternative paths such as job changes, self-employment, or relocation, and questioning traditional career expectations.
