Career Transitions
Scope
Covers
- Clarifying what “progress” means to you (beyond compensation) and using it as a decision rule
- Mapping your current situation into pushes (frictions) and pulls (attractions)
- Defining a motivating “genie goal” (what you’d do if success were guaranteed) and backcasting into near-term moves
- Turning vague ideas into 2–4 concrete target archetypes (roles/companies/paths) with clear fit filters
- Building an opportunity pipeline (network map + weekly outreach plan) and ready-to-send outreach scripts
- Creating a realistic 4–12 week experiment plan to de-risk the transition
When to use
- “I want to change careers / pivot roles but I’m not sure to what.”
- “Help me evaluate two career paths and pick one.”
- “I feel stuck; help me figure out what I actually want next and how to get there.”
- “I want a structured plan for a career transition, including networking/outreach scripts.”
