Most people don't understand how starting a new job actually affects their lives.
The majority of our time awake is spent at work, and your office's culture has a huge impact on the person you will become, whether you're aware of it or not.
We believe that "You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with."
And we understand through experience that working in a culture with strong hierarchies creates people with a hierarchical mindset.
Working in a culture where your job title or the car that you drive defines you more than what you really believe in, will turn you into status-driven person.
Working in an obligatory 9-5 job will turn you into a person who never truly unlocks your purpose in life.
And working in a safe and comfortable job will turn you into someone who is afraid to take risks, who won't be able to learn how to cope with a fast and dynamic world.
There's really nothing wrong with the above...
It's just not for us.
We founded Northstar because we wanted to create a culture that allows us to define and nurture our own values.
Values that empower us to navigate the world and to make an impact when it matters most. Values that allow us to become the best version of ourselves.
We want more from life. We want:
And most importantly we want to create a job for ourselves and for the people around us that doesn't feel like a job.
We accept and embrace that there will be daily challenges, lows, highs and struggles. That's life, and we have chosen to embrace it to the fullest.
