Career Planning Tool

New: We’ve just launched our in-depth career planning process.

It’s our most comprehensive overview of all our advice on career planning, and includes a step-by-step template you can use to plan your career.

(It’s designed to replace the process below, which we left for posterity.)

This tool is where we tie everything together from our career guide, and help you make your career plan.

Part 1: We’ll go over our key ideas and make sure you’ve got them down.
Part 2: We’ll make your A/B/Z plan and choose your next step.

It can take anywhere from twenty minutes to an afternoon, depending on how thorough you want to be. Feel free to skip any section. If you do it in multiple sittings, make sure you keep the tab open so you don’t lose your answers.
