A five-minute career interview
What you love, what you're good at, what the world needs, and what you can be paid for. Work that holds all four is what the Japanese-inspired Ikigai diagram puts at the center. The interview finds which circles you're standing in — and the smallest honest move toward the middle.

Your interview verdict
The four circles
Solid circles are ones you hold; dashed circles are the gaps. The dot is you.
The move ladder
Every career move costs something — money, risk, or identity. The ladder is ordered by that cost, and the rule is simple: never pay for a bigger move than your gap requires. Moves above yours aren't wrong; they're just not yet.
Circle by circle
Each circle scored from your three answers about it. Six is lit; zero is dark.
Take it with you
A snapshot of your circles, your zone, and your move — good for a lock screen, a journal, or a conversation you've been meaning to have.
Field notes
Short honest notes on where this framework shines, where it creaks, and the research underneath the moves.
