Organize Career Decisions with AI
Big choices like changing jobs, further study, or going independent involve much information and emotion. AI suits structuring options and discovering oversights. You make the decision.
4 Decision Steps
- List options: always include "status quo" as an option
- Verbalize criteria: weight income, growth, time, risk, values
- Score each option: organize per criterion (put intuition into a table)
- Worst/best scenarios: confirm "can you bear it" for each
A Usable Prompt
I'm torn between A and B. Following my criteria (I prioritize XX), organize both into a table of merits, risks, and the picture in 5 years. Point out any perspectives I'm overlooking.
Don't Over-Rely on AI
- AI doesn't know your values. Correct general theory in your own context
- Don't seek "the right answer"; treat it as a tool to gather material to decide with conviction
- Career-specific circumstances (relationships, timing) are invisible to AI
Finishing Touches
After organizing, having AI ask "if you regret it in 3 months, what's the reason" makes a final pre-decision check.
