How This Quiz Works

This quiz is based on the Income Leap Strategy — a data-backed framework validated against BLS wage data, the Federal Reserve Atlanta Wage Tracker, and ADP workforce reports. It scores your situation across four dimensions:

• Market Gap — how much you're underpaid compared to market rate
• Promotion Path — whether your current employer can close the gap
• Switch Readiness — whether you're positioned to move to a higher-paying role
• Personal Brand — the multiplier that makes both paths faster and bigger

Your answers produce one of six career profiles, each with a specific recommended strategy. Whether you should quit, push for a promotion, or build your brand first — the quiz gives you a clear next step based on where you actually stand.
