Knowing how ready you are to actually make a change is important before you take any action that could change the course of your life and career. When I started career coaching, I noticed sometimes tech professionals would come to me frustrated about their career but not really willing to change. After a while I began using motivational interviewing. This is a technique I use to help me figure out how ready someone is to really make a change in their tech career. If you're thinking of getting a promotion, switching roles from perhaps programming to something like product management, UX, or data science; or looking to just find a better job - you should assess how urgent the change really is. In this episode I offer 5 stages of readiness for change along with symptoms you can experience at each of them. I hope this helps you know if your tech career is actually in a better place than you thought - or if it truly is time to make a change today!
