Pro · Career Roadmap + 90-Day Plan

Stay, advance, specialize, or pivot?

A diagnostic that takes your resume + 7 quick situational questions and tells you which of four moves you should make next. Backed by Mobley's turnover model, BLS pay data, and real cert/promotion numbers. Not a preference quiz. We tell you what we think you should do.

What you do

  1. Paste or upload your resume.
  2. Answer 7 questions about your current situation (no preferences, just facts about how things actually feel right now).
  3. Hit submit. We score 4 paths in 30 seconds.

The 4 paths we score

  • STAY. Keep your job, project pay 6 yrs out (BLS).
  • ADVANCE. Push for promotion or a market-rate raise where you are. Sourced 7-12% typical bump (22% major), 12-24 month cycle.
  • SPECIALIZE. Go deep on a high-premium niche in your current role (Levels.fyi, IBEW, AACN, PMI sourced).
  • PIVOT. Jump to a higher-paying adjacent role you half-qualify for, with exact cert cost + weeks of study at your pace.

What we won't do: make up numbers, recommend a job you can't realistically reach, or fabricate experience. Sources: Mobley turnover model (1977, validated through 2026), BLS OEWS (May 2024), Ravio 2026 promotion data, Levels.fyi 2025, IBEW/AACN/PMI specialty surveys, published cert pricing.

Example output. This is what your report will look like.

Our verdict (sample)

SPECIALIZE

Go deep on a high-premium niche inside your current role. PMP plus a healthcare or construction specialty pays the best 3-year ROI here.

  • You're at the BLS median for your level. Pivoting eats 9-14 months of ramp before you catch up on pay.
  • Promotion path at your company is unclear (Q5), so ADVANCE has weak odds inside 24 months.
  • Healthcare PM specialty premium runs 18-24% over generalist PM (PMI 2025 salary survey, AACN healthcare-leader data).
