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 done everything right, including getting a degree, internships, and working overtime, feel they have been deceived as they are not getting the promised security, career advancement, and prosperity.
According to the Kiel Institute for the World Economy, Millennials need to save for 14 years to afford a home, compared to 7 years for Baby Boomers. Many Millennials are feeling financially insecure, with nearly half feeling this way in 2025, according to a Deloitte survey. As a result, they are redefining success and seeking new solutions, such as changing jobs, becoming self-employed, or moving abroad.
