The promotion conversation where you weren’t sure you wanted the job.

Career Compass is a free self-test from Coach42 for people weighing the manager track against the expert track. You answer 18 questions, from 1 (never) to 5 (always), on the energy you get from making things and from helping others make them. You get Maker, Manager, Both or Not clear yet, and one thing to try next.
