Career Satisfaction Predictor
Compensation, brand, and prestige get a lot of attention when evaluating an offer. Likely day-to-day satisfaction gets almost none — even though it's the variable most correlated with whether you stay, grow, or burn out.
The Career Satisfaction Predictor scores it.
What it does
- Predicts a 0–100 satisfaction score and a band (low / moderate / high / exceptional).
- Decomposes the score into four sub-scores: skills match, interests match, work-life alignment, and growth potential.
- Returns a breakdown of strengths and risks, plus a list of interview questions that would confirm or disconfirm the prediction.
- Saves the prediction so you can compare multiple roles side-by-side later.
Why work-style matters
Two scientists with identical CVs can have very different experiences in the same role depending on their preferences for autonomy, collaboration, structure, pace, and remote work. The Predictor takes those signals seriously by asking you to rate each 1–5.
