Why is your second innings game more valued in cricket? It is because you are responsible for either chasing down a massive total and the eventual victory for your team or for battling with steely grit and determination that tests your core to save the test match. It also gives you a second chance to redeem yourself, stamp your authority and march into folklore! Life is not very different too, but it also offers another exciting twist. Your professional second innings post-retirement gives you a choice now to pursue your real passions and another opportunity to explore exciting new ventures after stepping down from the more traditional treadmill of your career.

With active lives extending to the 80s from the earlier 60s, one needs to plan not just for life post-retirement but also one's lifestyle. Can your savings support you through an extended lifespan of nearly 20-25 years? Even if it does, how can you continue to be usefully engaged, professionally challenged, and even intellectually stimulated with the energy, enthusiasm, and vibrancy of the next generation's thrills and opportunities, the environment of the new economy, and the continued learning, participation, and involvement in the changing world? More basically, how can you miss the continued social contact, the small talk around the coffee machine, and the water cooler? But more importantly, society needs you, for now, is time for you to make an even more impactful contribution with your experience and professional learning over a lifetime.

GigWork can be your trustworthy partner as you navigate this new stage of your life with confidence, fun, and enjoyable professional satisfaction, all at your pace and time, at will. Senior experienced professionals are the need of the hour in every industry, in every stage of the company's evolution.

For younger and start-up companies, that cannot afford a high-flying top-notch professional either for cost prudence or business priority reasons, GigRetire is a compelling value proposition.
