1 Identify your sources of pressure

Recognizing the external pressures that influence your decision-making process is the first step. These pressures can come from family, peers, employers, and society. For example, family members may have opinions or preferences about your career path, peers may offer advice or feedback, an employer may have expectations for your performance, and society may have norms or standards for your profession. It is important to be aware of these pressures and how they can affect your decisions.

While external pressure is unavoidable in our current social setting, it's paramount important to understand that it's your career. Even though you receive pressure from multiple sources at this point, it will be you who bear the consequences of the decisions that you make. So, always think about the future while making the decision, rather than bowing down to the current pressure.

2 Evaluate your options

The next step is to assess your available options and weigh the pros and cons of each one. To do this, you can use various tools and methods, such as a SWOT analysis to identify the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of each option. Additionally, a decision matrix can help you compare the options based on multiple criteria and assign scores or weights to each one. Furthermore, a decision tree can help you visualize the possible outcomes and consequences of each option.

3 Clarify your values

The third step in career development is to clarify your personal values and goals. Your values are the principles and beliefs that guide your actions and decisions, while your goals are the specific and measurable outcomes that you want to achieve. To better understand your values and goals, ask yourself questions such as: What are the most important things to you in life and work? What are you passionate about and enjoy doing? What are you good at and want to improve on? What are your short-term and long-term career objectives? How do your values and goals align with your options? Answering these questions can help you develop a clearer understanding of yourself and how to best pursue a career path.

Acknowledge the external pressure and understand the reasons or motives behind the pressure. It might be because your family or friends love you and want the best for you. However, you need to think about yourself, what your passion is and what your strengths are. It is important to ask yourself what your long term goal is and where you see yourself in the future. To achieve your long term goal, you have to make choices in the short term that align with your goals and get you closer to your long term goal. It is important to be yourself and stay authentic to who you are and what you need in your life.

4 Seek feedback

The fourth step is to seek feedback from others who can offer you different perspectives and insights on your career development decisions. Feedback can help you validate your assumptions and information, identify any blind spots or biases, discover new opportunities or alternatives, and learn from other people's experiences and expertise. When seeking feedback, it is important to be selective and critical about who you ask for it and how you use it. Some tips for seeking feedback effectively include choosing people who are trustworthy, supportive, and knowledgeable; asking specific and open-ended questions; listening actively and respectfully; and evaluating the feedback objectively and constructively.

You may also consider reaching out to people with non-linear career paths, as they have gone through the process, even (or especially) if they are in another industry/profession, and may have valuable insights on what works and what doesn't. Gather a range of opinions from different socioeconomic backgrounds, then apply a filter to see what fits you.

5 Make a decision

The final step is to make a decision based on your analysis, values, and feedback. You may not find a perfect or easy solution, but you can choose the one that best fits your situation and preferences. To make a decision confidently, review your options and criteria, trust your intuition and judgment, consider the trade-offs and risks, commit to your decision and take action, and then monitor and evaluate the results.

If you struggle with your "why", or do not have clear objectives, or have troubles identifying your values, try working with a career coach. It may also be someone from your current job, if your employer offers one. You can ask them for help on how to, for example, justify a promotion with the new skills you've acquired, or on how to be considered for a side project within the company that is not in your direct competence area. It should provide you with some general but applicable advice on how to move forward. ???????????????'???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????/?????????????????????????????????????????????/?????????????:??????????????????:?/?/???????????????????????????????.??????????/?
