post-career
Following professional life
Post-career describes the period after someone has stopped working in their primary profession, typically following retirement.
It often modifies nouns related to this life stage: post-career plans, post-career identity.
The term acknowledges that leaving a career brings its own distinct phase of life, not merely an absence of work: She's finding post-career life surprisingly fulfilling.
