Stay the course — or make the move?
A 21-page answer to the question you've been sitting with.
The 5-dimensional career assessment for professionals cuts through years of accumulated "what if" — and gives you a data-backed picture of where you actually belong.
- Personality, interests, motivators, learning style and abilities — all mapped together
- Industry-specific skills scored against your current domain (unique to the professionals report)
- Career paths ranked both within your industry and outside it — the advance vs. pivot split
- 21-page report with execution plan, course recommendations and specific role guidance
This assessment is typically priced at ₹5,999. Through MyLaunchpad you get the same report plus a 1:1 counselling session with Rekha Pillai — for ₹3,999. Same assessment, more guidance, lower price.
If any of these sounds like you, the assessment is for you
Working hard, going nowhere
Competent. Consistent. But increasingly disconnected from the work itself. Something has shifted — and you can't quite name it.
Forced to a crossroads
A layoff, a restructure, or a senior transition has pushed the question to the surface: double down, or try something different?
Hit a ceiling
The next level isn't available in this organisation. Or this function. You're deciding: move laterally, vertical elsewhere, or genuinely pivot?
Suspect there's a better fit
You've always had a sense there's a path you'd be significantly better suited to. But you've never had data to validate or disprove it.
Ready to move — but where?
You've made the internal decision. What you need now is a clear, prioritised direction — not more options to feel overwhelmed by.
Early career, early doubt
2–5 years in and already asking: is this the right lane? Better to validate now than invest another decade finding out the hard way.
5-dimensional assessment — built for working professionals
Not a generic quiz. A structured psychometric assessment covering the five dimensions that together determine career fit.
Career Personality
MBTI-style — 4 dimensions, scored as % with full analysis of your work style
Career Interest
Holland codes across 6 types — which of Investigative, Social, Conventional etc. dominate your profile
Career Motivators
6 motivator types ranked: Adventure, Independence, Continuous Learning, High-Paced, Structured, Social Service
Learning Style
How you absorb and apply knowledge — important for identifying how you'll grow in any new direction
Skills & Abilities
8 sub-dimensions: Numerical, Logical, Verbal, Administrative, Spatial, Leadership, Social, Mechanical
The professionals report scores you against your actual domain
Student assessments don't have this. The professionals report includes an industry-specific skills rating — your competencies scored within real workplace skill clusters, not just generic aptitude.
Based on your industry background, the report generates domain-specific skill cluster scores — rating you against the actual skills that matter in your current function. It's the gap analysis that tells you what to build before your next move.
Each cluster is broken down into 4–5 sub-skills with individual scores, giving you a precise picture of where you're strong within your domain and where you'd need to invest before stepping into a new role or function.
This is the section that makes the assessment actionable — not just directional. You leave knowing what to do, not just where to go.
Sample scores for illustration. Your report generates clusters relevant to your specific industry and role background.
Your paths — within your industry, and beyond it
The report doesn't just list options. It splits them into two separate ranked lists — giving you clarity on whether to advance in your domain or step into something new.

Built for specific professional situations
Mid-Career Professionals (5–15 yrs)
The sweet spot for this assessment. Enough experience to have a domain to assess — enough career ahead to make a meaningful move.
After a Layoff or Role Change
Forced transitions are often the best time to assess. You have the space to choose deliberately rather than react.
Stalled Advancement
Performing well but not moving up. The assessment clarifies whether the ceiling is you, the role, or the organisation.
Industry or Function Change
Already planning to move — want to know which direction is backed by your actual profile, not just market trend.
Early-Career Validators (2–5 yrs)
Not too early. 2–5 years is exactly when the data starts mattering. Better now than at year 10.
The "Is This It?" Moment
You're good at what you do. But you've started wondering if there's a version of work that actually energises you. This is the right starting point.

From stuck to moving with intention
Eight years in IT and I'd been telling myself "maybe next year." The assessment showed my top motivators had shifted completely — towards independence and continuous learning, neither of which my role was giving me. Moved into consulting six months later.
I was convinced I needed out of finance. The assessment showed my interest and skill profile was strongly aligned with finance — but the wrong type. Moved from corporate banking to fintech product. Same domain, completely different energy. Never looked back.
The session with Rekha was what made the difference. She read the report and asked the questions I hadn't thought to ask myself. Helped me figure out the sequence: what to stay in, what to build, what to exit. Invaluable at that stage.
