DecisionFrames
Career decision tool

Use better frames for career choices that feel too big for a gut check.

Career decisions usually mix money, identity, risk, relationships, timing, and regret. DecisionFrames applies multiple frameworks so you can see the tradeoffs before you quit, stay, pivot, negotiate, start something, or wait.

Analyze a career decision

Career questions DecisionFrames is built for

Job change

Should I leave my job?

Compare stability, opportunity cost, runway, reversibility, identity, and likely regret.

Founder path

Should I start my own thing?

Use risk, runway, lean-startup tests, customer value, and pre-mortem thinking before overcommitting.

Negotiation

Should I ask for more?

Separate fear from evidence, clarify leverage, and identify the first conversation to have.

Direction

Which path fits who I am becoming?

Bring values alignment, regret minimization, identity, and opportunity cost into one answer.

Useful frameworks for career decisions

  • Regret minimization: which choice is future-you most likely to respect?
  • Opportunity cost: what does each path quietly displace?
  • Reversibility test: can you run a smaller experiment before a one-way door?
  • Values alignment: does this path serve the life you are trying to build?
  • Pre-mortem: if this fails, what most likely caused the failure?
