The ensuing book, They Don't Teach Corporate in College, was published in 2004 and started Levit's transition into a career as a workplace consultant, speaker, columnist and author,[8][10] which became her full-time profession after leaving Edelman in 2008.

[9] In 2004, Levit founded Inspiration at Work, a business and workplace consulting firm based in Chicago that advised universities, nonprofit associations and companies.

[32] In 2017, she presented a TEDx talk on the future of work in Evanston, Illinois,[33] and spoke at South by Southwest alongside technology entrepreneur Randi Zuckerberg and DeVry University president Rob Paul.

During the 2020-2021 coronavirus pandemic, Levit applied for and received a federal grant from the National Institute of Mental Health[38] to create an app that uses cognitive behavioral techniques to alleviate the emotional distress caused by unemployment.

In 2022, Levit returned to the Wall Street Journal[39] to anchor a section and newsletter, The Workplace Report, which advises CEOs and CHROs on modern employment issues and features interviews with leaders including EEOC Commissioner Keith Sonderling[40] and National Labor Relations Board Deputy General Counsel Jennifer Abruzzo.

[41] Levit formed a partnership with artificial intelligence HR technology company Eightfold AI,[42] with which she co-authored her book, Deep Talent,[43] in 2023.
