A closer look

Understanding the situation

Goals & constraints

We clarify what “better” means for you — growth, stability, purpose, or balance — and what limits you must respect (financial runway, family commitments, timing). You’ll see how personal values and external realities interact before making any move.

Options list

  • Stay and redesign your current role

  • Move internally to a different team or function

  • Change employer

  • Take a sabbatical or break before your next step

Uncertainties & scenarios

How stable is your company or industry? How would your satisfaction evolve if nothing changed? How likely is each external opportunity to materialize? We identify the variables that make or break your options — and plan for them.

Criteria & value tradeoffs

We structure the decision by your personal criteria — meaning, autonomy, learning, recognition, pay, risk tolerance. You’ll see how each option performs across them, and how much tradeoff each improvement would require.
