This is a decision aid for the question you have probably been circling in the shower. It sidesteps the tired framing of brave-leap versus safe-stay and instead weighs the things that actually move the odds: your runway, your current market value, and how many real options you have compared with what staying costs you.
Your answers are grouped into a few practical dimensions — financial cushion, how in-demand your skills are right now, the concrete alternatives on the table, and the daily toll of staying — then pooled into a qualitative lean rather than a yes-or-no command. The result is a direction and a set of things to shore up, not a resignation letter with your name pre-filled.
A lean toward staying usually means the math or the timing is not there yet, not that leaving is wrong. A lean toward going usually means the costs of staying are outrunning the safety of it. Either way the number is only as good as the honesty behind your answers.
If exhaustion or dread drove most of your responses, it is worth checking whether the problem is the job or something closer to burnout, because quitting rarely fixes a pattern you carry with you. Concrete next steps beat grand gestures: quantify your runway in months, get one outside conversation about your market value, and line up at least one real option before you decide anything.
No. The result is a lean, not an instruction. Even a strong pull toward leaving is best acted on after you have runway, market feedback, and at least one concrete option in hand.
Because bravery is not a plan. Financial cushion and real alternatives are what actually change your odds; framing the choice as brave-versus-safe tends to hide the parts you can control.
That is worth separating out. Sometimes the fix is a different team, manager, or scope rather than a different career, and the quiz is meant to help you notice which one you are actually reacting to.
No. It is a structured way to think through a personal decision, not a recommendation about your money or career. Big financial moves deserve advice tailored to your situation.
This is an educational self-assessment, not a diagnosis. It is not career or financial advice. Major decisions deserve guidance tailored to your own situation.
