Career Change Guidance When Something Feels Off
A practical first step for professionals in the UK who need career change guidance before making their next move.
Not a quiz. Not a generic report. A personal written diagnosis of your career: where you actually are, what's holding you back, and what to do about it. Returned within 48 hours.
Written by Jay. Specific to you. Honest in a way most people never get about their career.
How it works
Step 01
You pay and receive the intake form
Immediately after payment you'll receive a 19-question intake form. Six sections covering where you are, the drift, the ceiling, your track record, where you want to go, and what you most need to understand.
Step 02
You fill it in honestly
Takes 20–30 minutes. The more honest you are, the more useful the audit will be. The questions are deliberately uncomfortable. They're designed to surface things you haven't name yet.
Step 03
Jay reads it and writes your audit
Not a template. Jay reads everything you've written and produces a personal written diagnosis, specific to your situation, in his voice. No generic output.
Step 04
You receive it within 48 hours
Your audit arrives as a structured document. Six sections. The honest read, the real pattern, your assets, the gap, the one thing to do next, and Jay's recommendation for where to go from here.
Why this exists
Most professionals never get an honest read of their career.
Their manager tells them what they need to hear. Their friends tell them what they want to hear. Their CV tells the story they've curated. Nobody tells them what's actually going on.
They can't see their own pattern
The thing that's holding them back is usually obvious from the outside and completely invisible from the inside. Drift, avoidance, wrong environment, misaligned values. It takes someone who isn't in the situation to name it clearly.
They don't know what they're actually good at
Not in a documented, evidenced, articulable way. They have a vague sense of their strengths but can't express them under pressure, which means they undersell in interviews, negotiations, and performance reviews.
They've been tolerating things they shouldn't
Wrong role, wrong company, wrong direction. They've been justifying it so long they've stopped noticing. The audit is often the first time someone names what they've been accepting.
They don't know the right next move
There's a gap between where they are and where they want to be. They don't know whether it's a skill gap, a positioning gap, a mindset gap, or a circumstance gap. The audit identifies which one it is.
What the audit contains
Six sections. One honest picture.
The audit is structured around six sections. Each one designed to surface something specific. Together they give you a complete picture of where you are and what's actually going on.
The honest read
What Jay sees when he looks at your situation
The opening section cuts through the story you've been telling yourself. Jay synthesises everything from your intake form into a clear picture of where you actually are. Specific, direct, and written in plain English. This is the "someone finally gets it" moment most people have never had about their career.
The real pattern
The thing that's actually creating the ceiling
Not the surface symptom. The underlying pattern. Drift, avoidance, wrong environment, misaligned values, a confidence issue that's been misread as a career issue. Named clearly, with an explanation of why it matters and how it's showing up.
Your assets
The strengths you're not deploying properly
Drawing from your actual achievements, Jay names what you're genuinely good at in specific, evidenced terms, using the CareerEgo framework. Most people undersell their strengths or deploy them in the wrong context.
The honest gap
What's actually between you and where you want to be
The distance between where you are and your 3-year picture. And what's specifically creating it. Not vague encouragement. A precise answer to whether it's a skill gap, a positioning gap, a decision you're avoiding, or something structural.
The one thing
One clear action. Not a list of ten.
The single highest-leverage move for you right now, based on everything in the audit. One sentence. Starts with a verb. Connected directly to the diagnosis.
Where to go from here
Jay's honest recommendation for next steps
Not a sales pitch. An honest recommendation based on what came out of the audit. If a discovery call makes sense, he'll say so. If none of the Outerview programmes are right for where you are, he'll tell you that too.
The intake form
Uncomfortable questions.
That's the point.
The 19-question intake form is divided into six sections. The questions are deliberately direct. They surface things you may not have named before.
Where you are
"On a scale of 1–10, how satisfied are you with your career right now. What's actually driving that number?
"What does a typical week look like? What energises you, what drains you?
"Are you in the right role, the wrong role, or somewhere in between, and why?
The drift
"When did you last make a deliberate, conscious decision about the direction of your career?
"If you're honest, are you drifting? What does that look like?
"What have you been tolerating in your career that you know you shouldn't be?
The ceiling
"What's the single biggest thing holding your career back right now, the real one, not the polished version?
"What have you tried before to move things forward, and what happened?
"What's the conversation or decision you've been avoiding?
Your track record
"What are the two or three things you've delivered that you're genuinely proud of? Specific situations, specific results?
"What do colleagues and managers consistently say about you, the real feedback, not the formal stuff?
"Where do you feel most in your element?

not the destination.

I've reviewed over 250,000 CVs and spent 10 years sitting on the other side of the hiring table at funded SaaS startups. I've seen how careers stall, how good people get stuck, and what's usually actually causing it, which is almost never what they think it is. and spent 10 years sitting on the other side of the hiring table at funded SaaS startups.

The audit is me reading your situation the way I'd read a candidate's background before a placement call, looking for the real story, not the polished version. Except this time I'm telling you what I see, not your next employer.
I write every audit personally. It takes time, which is why I can only take a limited number each week. Each one is specific to the person. No templates, no generic output.
