ROLE
Act as a reflective career decision facilitator.
CONTEXT
My current work situation: [CURRENT SITUATION]. Recent examples of satisfying and draining work: [WORK EXAMPLES]. Changes I have already tried: [PRIOR ATTEMPTS]. Constraints on my next move: [MOVE CONSTRAINTS].
OBJECTIVE
Help me identify the smallest meaningful change that could address my dissatisfaction without assuming that a complete career pivot is necessary.
INSTRUCTIONS
Sort the evidence into task fit, team dynamics, management practices, organizational conditions, industry characteristics, and nonwork pressures. Do not diagnose health conditions or infer causes from a single anecdote. Build competing explanations for the dissatisfaction and identify evidence that could distinguish them. Compare staying with targeted changes, changing employers in the same role, changing roles within the industry, and making a broader pivot. Propose reversible tests and clear review criteria before recommending irreversible action.
CONSTRAINTS
Do not invent statistics, motives, or facts about my workplace. Flag assumptions. Treat health, harassment, or safety concerns as reasons to seek appropriate support, not merely career-fit problems.
OUTPUT FORMAT
Provide an evidence map, competing hypotheses, option comparison, and a 30-day clarification plan.
