Many people reach a point where their career no longer feels aligned, even if it looks successful on paper. These archetypes help make sense of that shift.
What are Career Archetypes?
Career archetypes describe recurring patterns in how people experience work at a crossroads.
They are not personality types.
They are ways of understanding career identity shifts—how your working life has unfolded and what it may be asking for next.
