Tech Exit Readiness Planner

Turn a difficult career question into one practical next step. This planner helps you organize what to find out; it does not decide whether you should quit.

Your answers stay in this browser session. Nothing is sent or saved by this tool. Skip anything you would rather not write down.

Use it when you are weighing a team change, a different kind of work, a break, or leaving tech. You do not need to know the final answer. Name what feels wrong, note what is still uncertain, and choose one small experiment that could give you better information.

What feels most important to change?

Choose the closest fit for now. You can change your mind later.

The team, manager, or conditions in my current job The kind of work I do, even if I stay in tech I need time and space to recover or think I am not sure yet

What would you like to explore next?

This is an option to test, not a commitment.

Try a different team, manager, or role in tech Explore work outside tech Plan a career break or leave I need more information before choosing

What do you still need to check?

Select the items that apply. These are prompts for your own review, not a pass/fail checklist.

Map expenses and compare more than one timeline Check health coverage, benefits, and end dates Review notice, equity, bonus, leave, and contract terms Consider household responsibilities and who is affected Identify support for health, recovery, and routine Clarify what I can keep or share without employer-confidential material

Choose one small experiment

Pick something low-cost and reversible that could teach you about the next direction.

My next step

When will I review what I learned?

Who or what can support me? (optional)
