Career Pivot Plan

Career changes stall on two myths: "I have to start from scratch" and "I have to quit and figure it out." Neither is true. Most pivots are bridges — leveraging what transfers, closing specific gaps, and entering through a side door — often without a heroic income cliff. This maps your transferable strengths, the real gaps, and a staged plan that gets you there while staying solvent.

What This Skill Produces

• A transferable-skills map — what from your current background genuinely carries into the target field (usually more than you think)
• An honest gap analysis — the specific skills, credentials, or experience the target role actually requires that you lack
• A staged bridge — a sequence (learn → build proof → reposition → side-door in) rather than a single leap
• A runway reality check — the financial and timeline realities, and lower-risk paths (transitional roles, hybrid moves, moonlighting)
• A repositioning narrative — how to tell your story so your background reads as an asset, not a liability
• Concrete next steps — the first few moves to start now
