Most 'career change' advice is hand-waved. Ours computes actual adjacencies from a bridge graph we've built between 900 BLS occupation profiles — cross-domain mappings like 'software engineer → product manager' or 'teacher → instructional designer' with real difficulty and feasibility scores per transition.
Each pivot suggestion carries:
- Difficulty — categorical (low / moderate / high / very-high) based on skill overlap
- Feasibility score — 0–100 based on the concrete pathway from your current role
- Typical time — how long the pivot usually takes
- Skill gap — the top-3 skills you'd need to add
- 3-year TC estimate — realistic pay trajectory in the new role
Who this is for
- Early-career professionals — 2–5 years in, wondering if you picked wrong
- Mid-career pivoters — burnout, plateau, or a genuine change of direction
- Retraining — deliberate industry-change with time and capital to invest
- Sabbatical planners — mapping options before a break so you can return sharper
Frequently asked questions
How accurate are the difficulty scores?
Ranges are calibrated from published skill-overlap studies (Frank et al. 2019, Neffke & Henning 2013). Individual difficulty varies with your existing skills and network, so treat the score as directional.
Do you cover pivots into non-tech fields?
Yes — 900+ occupation profiles across every BLS major group, including trades, healthcare, education, and arts.
