Career Pivot Scorecard

You are eyeing a career change and your gut keeps flip-flopping. This builds a weighted decision matrix that scores staying against pivoting across the things that actually matter: money over the first three years, transferable skills, retraining cost, market demand and how well each fits your life. For anyone who wants to think it through, not just feel it through.

I'm weighing a significant career change and I want to think it through, not just feel my way through it.

Current career: {CURRENT_CAREER}
Proposed pivot: {NEW_CAREER}
My main motivation for changing: {MOTIVATION}

Build a weighted decision matrix comparing staying versus pivoting. Use these factors: financial impact in years one to three, skills transferability, retraining cost and time, market demand, alignment with what I actually want from work, reversibility. Weight the factors sensibly for someone at {EXPERIENCE_LEVEL} in their career. Show me the scored table. Then give me the uncomfortable truth the numbers point to.
