Separate role, company, and career
Write down what drains you and identify its level: daily task, team dynamic, organizational culture, industry, occupation, or personal constraint. Different problems require different moves.
Define non-negotiables and trade-offs
Clarify income needs, location, schedule, learning time, risk tolerance, family responsibilities, energy patterns, values, and the evidence employers will require.
Run a reversible experiment
Before resigning, test the direction through a project, course, shadowing conversation, freelance assignment, volunteer role, or internal transfer. Experiments replace imagination with evidence.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Can an assessment tell me whether to quit?
No. It can organize reflection, but quitting requires financial, personal, and market considerations beyond a test.
Is career change possible without starting over?
Often. Transferable skills, adjacent roles, internal moves, and portfolio experiments can reduce the cost of transition.
When should I talk to a human professional?
Consider a qualified career counselor, financial adviser, therapist, or other professional when the decision involves high personal, financial, or health stakes.
