Be honest. The reason determines whether a change will actually help.

How This Career Change Quiz Works

This quiz evaluates your career change readiness across five dimensions that determine whether a transition is likely to succeed — or end in regret. It's designed to separate genuine readiness from emotional escapism, because the #1 reason career changes fail is insufficient preparation, not insufficient desire.

  • Motivation Clarity — are you running toward something specific, or just running away?
  • Financial Runway — can you afford the transition period without desperation?
  • Transferable Skills — how much of your experience carries over to the new field?
  • Market Research — do you know the salary, requirements, and entry paths from real data?
  • Action Taken — have you done anything concrete, or is this still a daydream?
