The job market is shifting fast — roles, salaries, expectations, and stability all feel different than they did even a year ago.
This listening session is for professionals in our community to share what you’re experiencing, what you’re navigating, and what support would actually help. BTS exists to create access, opportunity, and community — so we’re taking a step back to listen before we build what’s next.
We’ll talk about:
How the market is impacting your career decisions and confidence
What you’re prioritizing right now (stability, growth, compensation, flexibility)
How you’re finding opportunities — and what’s getting in the way
Skills, transitions, and career pivots you’re considering
What support would be most valuable (network, hiring access, mentors, training)
Mental health, burnout, and staying steady through uncertainty
What’s working in the Detroit/Michigan tech ecosystem — and what’s not
Format: guided discussion + open feedback.
Who should attend: tech and corporate professionals (ICs and managers), job seekers, career pivoters, and builders exploring what’s next.
