Should I change career?
A career change can affect income, identity, skills, relationships and future opportunities. The useful question is not simply whether you are unhappy, but what you are moving toward.
Work through my career decisionQuestions to ask first
- What part of your current career do you want to change?
- Would a different employer or role solve the problem without a full career change?
- Which skills transfer to the new path?
- What would the financial transition look like?
- What evidence would make you more confident?
Compare realistic options
Consider staying, changing role, retraining while employed, moving gradually or making a full switch. Compare the cost of each path against the opportunity it creates.
