Career Transition Map

Build a bridge, not a leap: target adjacent roles with clear demand and proof.

Updated October 9, 2025 · 6 min read

Map your bridges

  • List strengths: domain, tech, communication, distribution
  • Identify adjacent roles with overlapping skills and higher durability
  • Define proof: 2–3 projects that demonstrate outcomes for that role

Portfolio sprints

  1. Pick a problem and ship a small solution in 1–2 weeks.
  2. Quantify the outcome: speed, revenue, retention, or quality.
  3. Tell the story: brief, approach, result, and what you’d do next.
