ABOUT THE PROJECT

Good decisions need better information.

Refactor Your Career is an independent project helping tech professionals make informed career-transition decisions.

Exploration is a useful first step.

A layoff, burnout, or concern about long-term stability can prompt big questions. Staying in tech can still be the right decision. We help you understand the alternatives before making a commitment.

Research, with the tradeoffs included.

We organize public information about work, education, licensure, and compensation. We focus on California first, with registered nursing as the initial in-depth guide. We make financial commitments visible through a transition calculator.

We do not rank professions as universally safe or promise jobs. Salary averages are not starting salaries, and finishing training does not guarantee your preferred role. Our guides include those limitations because they matter to your decision.

Independent by design.

This is not a school recruitment service. We do not claim school affiliations, professional endorsements, or individual outcomes. We link to official sources so you can check requirements yourself.
