Career check

Score the key dimensions of your current job to get a structured verdict on whether staying or leaving makes more sense right now.

What this means

This gauge combines job quality, market position, management, career trajectory, and financial position to score your readiness to leave.

Formula used

Quit readiness = (satisfaction + market fit + manager + growth) × 2.5 − raise penalty + offer boost + runway boost

Worked example

Satisfaction 4, market fit 5, manager 3, growth 3, no raise in 18 months, no offer, 2 months runway gives a score around 38/100 — amber, explore options.

Common questions

Does a high score mean I should definitely stay?
No. A high score means the structural signals are positive. There may still be valid personal, ethical, or strategic reasons to leave that this tool cannot see.

Does a low score mean I should quit immediately?
Not necessarily. A low score with no financial runway and no external option is a different situation from the same score with six months of savings and a lead in progress.

Plain-English summary

Enter your scores to find out whether the signals point toward staying, exploring, or leaving.

This section translates the result into a short, direct takeaway rather than leaving the page at a bare number.
