How to: Pivot my career with clarity

Why this happens

Career pivots feel risky because identity, finances, and status are involved. Direction is fuzzy when values are unclear and assumptions about success or failure go untested.

What usually helps

Clarify values and direction, reframe assumptions from first principles, and design small experiments to test options safely. The recommended starters use values work, first principles thinking, and creative prototyping to de risk the next step.
