output — ChatGPT / Claude
Plan a career change from {{current_field}} to {{target_field}}. My background and transferable skills: {{background}}. Time per week: {{hours}}. Constraints (income, location, family): {{constraints}}.

Give me: how my skills map to the target role and the real gaps; whether to aim for a direct move or a bridge role (and options); a 6–12 month plan with monthly milestones; projects that would serve as portfolio proof; a networking plan with 10 specific kinds of people to speak to and what to ask; how to tell my story in a CV and interview; risks and a financial buffer plan; and signals that tell me to continue, adjust or stop. Be realistic about timelines and uncertainty.
