Deciding what projects to take on

Unless you have something specific in mind planning a career switch can be daunting. What is feasible, where can I get training or experience, what should I prioritise when overloaded with.

When trying to decide what to work on during my career switch break I try to use a weighted factor model. This consists of simply listing all the things you could work on alongside the factors that would make a project appealing to you. It’s very much a living document where both the weighing you apply to each factor, the factors you choose and the projects within it can and should be updated regularly. I also keep a schedule and a template within the same document if anyone cares to copy it.
