Are You Ready for a Career Change?

This career change readiness assessment helps professionals evaluate whether they're truly prepared for a career transition. The quiz evaluates five critical dimensions: Motivation (clarity of goals, push vs. pull factors), Financial Stability (runway, income requirements, risk tolerance), Skills & Experience (transferable skills, gaps, learning plan), Network & Support (connections, mentors, family support), and Planning & Action (research, timeline, concrete steps). Get your overall readiness score with specific recommendations for areas that need strengthening before making the leap.
