About this event

We are amid uncertain economic times. With questions swirling about the timeline for a return to normal and reversal of economic stress caused by the Coronavirus, it’s only natural to feel worried and out of control regarding when it comes to your career path and financial future. As the saying goes, knowledge is power, which is why General Assembly is teaming up with Public.com to bring financial experts together for a panel discussion on how to understand what’s happening and unpack actionable ways to take back control.

This talk is for educational purposes only. It is not intended to be investment advice. When it comes to conversations about the stock market, past performance does not guarantee future results. The opinions of guest panelists are their own. For more information, see Public.com/disclosures.
