Career change & transferable skills
How do I know which career change is realistic for my skills?
Short answer
Compare the skills a direction needs with the ones you already have. The more they overlap and the smaller the remaining gap, the more realistic the change is right now.
A realistic change is one where most of the required skills are already yours and the missing piece is learnable in a reasonable step, not a full restart. LabourMarket.ai makes this visible by showing, for each direction, the overlap and the specific gap.
Use that to weigh effort against fit: a direction with a large overlap and a small, clear gap is a near-term move; one with a small overlap is a longer project. The tool informs the decision honestly — it does not decide for you or hide what a change would take.
