## Prompt

```text
Help me figure out my career direction.

**Where I am now:** [role, industry, years of experience, education]
**What energizes and drains me at work:** [LIST]
**Strengths others recognize in me:** [LIST]
**Values and non-negotiables:** [e.g. income floor, location, flexibility, impact]
**Paths I'm curious about:** [IDEAS]

First ask me 5 questions to understand me better. Then:
1. 5–7 career paths that fit, each with why it fits, what the work is really like day to day, typical pay range (to verify), and the skills gap.
2. The top 3, scored against my values and constraints.
3. For each: a low-risk way to test it in 30 days (conversations, a small project, a course, shadowing).
4. A 6-month plan for the path I lean toward.
```
