Understanding the Career Transition Landscape

This lesson introduces the career transition landscape: what a transition really is, why it happens, and how to recognize the type of change you are facing. You will learn the common patterns behind voluntary and involuntary moves, the emotional and practical realities of transition, and the main factors that shape timing, options, and risk.

By the end of the lesson, you should be able to assess your current situation more clearly, identify the forces influencing your next move, and understand the basic terrain before you start planning your transition strategy.
