The Next Big Move™

Stop second-guessing your career decisions.
Choose your next career move and build your 6-month roadmap in 3 weeks.

How many of these keep you up at night?

🔥 You're stuck in analysis paralysis hell - spending 2+ hours weekly researching career options but you still can't choose between those 3 different paths after 6 months of thinking

🔥 You can't talk to anyone about this - friends will judge, colleagues might think you're quitting, and your family just doesn't understand the difficult choice you have to make.

🔥 Every path feels risky - what if you waste 2 years on the wrong move? What if you give up a "good" job for something worse?

🔥 You're researching but not strategically - you're Googling career advice and reading random people’s comments talking about their situation instead of talking directly to people who've actually made the moves you're considering.

🔥 Time is ticking - while you're overthinking, opportunities are passing by and your peers are getting ahead. You’re getting older and none the wiser.

🔥 You know you're capable of more - but you don't know which "more" is worth pursuing. Or if you even have a realistic shot.


Picture this instead

You wake up with clarity instead of dread - knowing exactly what your next 6 months look like and why each step makes sense.

You have data, not just dreams - real info from real people already in your target roles about what it actually takes to get there.

You can defend your decision - to yourself, your family, anyone who asks, because you've done the homework.

You're strategically positioned - making moves based on market reality, not LinkedIn inspiration posts.

You have a backup plan - and a backup to the backup. Because you'd never gamble with your career.


Introducing The Next Big Move™
Identify your best career path and create a 6-month action plan with specific milestones for you to hit in just 3 weeks. No delusional thinking allowed.

This isn't therapy. This isn't "follow your passion" advice.

This is strategic career planning based on actual market data and your real competitive advantages.

This could be you, designing next chapter of your career on your terms (1/2)

This could be you, designing next chapter of your career on your terms (2/2)


You could spend the next 6 months:

❌ Reading about other people’s career updates and thinking when is it going to be your turn

❌ Taking personality tests that tell you what you already know

❌ Asking your college friends what they think you should do

❌ Researching online while feeling absolutely terrified that you're making the wrong choice

❌ Staying stuck because "the timing isn't perfect"

Or you could use the same method I used to increase my salary by 420% at age 26.


THE R.A.D. METHOD™

My research-based career planning method that helps professionals choose their next move using market data instead of guesswork.

🔍 REFLECT & RECALIBRATE

We don't guess. We audit.

Forget journaling about your feelings. We analyze your current assets: skills, experience, network, financial position, and market positioning. We identify what you actually bring to the table vs. what you think you bring to the table. (Past students have always been surprised at how big that gap is.)

You'll get:
- Your 3 real competitive advantages (not the ones you hope you have)
- The honest assessment of where you stand in your current market
- The gaps between where you are and where you want to go

📊 ASSESS & ALIGN

We test assumptions with real market data.

This is where most people fail. They’ll make massive life-changing irreversible decisions based on incomplete information. We won’t do that. We will design a systematic research plan to get you the intel you need from people who are where you want to be.

You'll get:
- The exact questions to ask in informational interviews
- A research framework to evaluate 2-3 potential paths
- Real data on timelines, requirements, and success rates

🗺️ DESIGN & DECIDE

We build your career roadmap.

With real data in hand, we pressure-test your top choice and create a concrete plan. No more wondering "what if" - you'll know exactly what you're getting into and why it's worth it.

You'll get:
- Your 6-month action plan with specific milestones
- Decision criteria to know if you're on track or need to pivot
- Backup plans so you're never stuck again


MEET YOUR STRATEGIST

Me at Interlaken, Switzerland in May 2025. Normally I don’t take calls when I’m on vacation, but 1 student had such a major crisis, that I called her with this as the background lol.

Hi, I’m Justine 👋

I help ambitious professionals get unstuck and confidently make their next career move — minus the weeks (or worse, months!) of spiraling into burnout, doubt, or decision paralysis.

I know how overwhelming a big career decision can feel. Because I’ve had to make a few of my own!

At one point, I was torn between two options:

→ Stay in Manila and take a job offer that paid 37% more than my already-high base salary

→ Or leave everything behind and pursue an MBA in the Netherlands, with no job lined up and zero support system waiting for me there. (I had no friends or family in the country at all, I was moving with my then-boyfriend-of-4-years who I had never lived with and who had his own career to think about. My parents were really worried.)

It was terrifying. But it was also the start of everything.

That decision led to a role I landed before I graduated. And one that paid 420% (lol) more than my old salary.

How did I do that? I made a strategic decision based on data, not hope.

Now I help ambitious professionals (like you) make similarly strategic moves through The Next Big Move™. Whether that's switching industries, relocating internationally, pursuing further education, or optimizing your current job.

I was choosing between 3 completely different paths and driving myself crazy and I was wasting time with my current job. After calling with Justine, I had a clear plan and started executing immediately. I lined up networking calls that led me to my now boss. No more analysis paralysis.
— Sarah, copywriter writing amazon product descriptions who made the difficult shift into Product Marketing for a B2B SAAS with Justine's guidance
I thought I needed to quit my job to be happy. Turns out I just needed to renegotiate my role and my remote work setup. Justine saved me from making a huge mistake and guided my negotiations every step of the way.
— David, Finance Professional who was burnt out and wanted to become a surf instructor but Justine Stopped him and negotiated 4 months of remote work from anywhere in the world instead. Now he surfs from spain or australia.
The research framework helped me realize my ‘dream job’ was actually a nightmare for me. Justine helped me pivot to something more realistic, pays me better, and makes me so much happier.
— Maria, Consultant from a big 4 firm who switched to transformation lead for a major local FMCG instead of her original dream of being a freelance consultant. (Justine figured out she hated getting new clients and stopped her.)
I showed Justine the 16 different grad school degrees I was considering and she stopped me. Then she narrowed it down to the 2 programs that would get me into the career I wanted to go. Started applications the same month and got an acceptance letter 2 months later.
— Alex, Career Changer who spoke to Justine and started applying in February, got accepted to both schools in April, and moved abroad for grad school in July.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • Perfect. That's exactly what Session 1 is for. We don't assume you know - we help you figure it out using systematic analysis, not guesswork.

  • Absolutely. This is about strategic career planning, not job applications. You shouldn’t be actively job hunting as we’re doing this because we’re trying to figure out what comes next.

  • Better to know now than after you've already invested time and money. Don’t worry, we'll find alternatives that get you closer to your goals without the unnecessary risks.

  • Most career coaches focus on self-discovery and motivation. I focus on market reality and strategic positioning. You'll leave with data, not just inspiration.

  • Sometimes that's the smartest move. We will still be creating a plan to optimize your current situation and position yourself for future opportunities though. Can’t get too complacent.


WHO THIS IS PERFECT FOR

Professionals with 2+ years experience who've proven they can perform but aren't sure what's next.

Strategic thinkers who want to make decisions based on data, not emotions.

High performers who are used to being good at things, hitting goals, and being an all-around achiever. And now don't want to risk a major career mistake.

Private decision-makers who can't discuss career moves openly at work or with friends.

Action-oriented people who want a plan they can actually execute, not more things to think about.

WHO THIS IS NOT FOR

❌ People looking for therapy sessions.

❌ Anyone not willing to do strategic research between sessions. Someone stuck in their head and not actually doing the work.

❌ Those seeking validation for decisions they've already made. At that point, just accept it and adjust accordingly.

❌ People who prefer "follow your heart" over "follow the data"

❌ Anyone not ready to invest seriously in their career advancement


LIMITED AVAILABILITY

I review each participant's research personally, which limits enrollment to 4 people monthly

Why? Because building an effective strategy requires personalized attention and thorough research. This isn't a template you can just pick up and fill in. This is customized strategic planning.

Current availability for September 2025: 2 spots remaining

READY TO MAKE YOUR NEXT BIG MOVE?

Stop spending your mental energy wondering "what if." Start spending it executing a plan that actually works.

The professionals who succeed long-term aren't the ones who get lucky. They're the ones who knew how to manufacture “luck” by making huge career decisions based on real updated information.

Your next 6 months can be strategic and purposeful. Or they can be more of the same uncertainty.

The choice is yours.

I won't make unrealistic promises because that's not what I stand for as The Bumpy Career. But what I do guarantee is that we will figure out how to move your career forward, be it switching industries, relocating internationally, pursuing further education, or optimizing your current job.
