Understand where you are
Make sense of what's no longer working, what you want more of, and what's really behind the desire for change.
You've built a career in tech. But lately, you're wondering whether it's still right for you. You don't need to make a rushed decision. You need space to explore what's next—and a plan that respects everything you've already built.
On paper, your career looks good. But something about it no longer feels right.
“I'm good at my job. Why does it feel so draining?”
“I keep thinking about leaving tech. But for what?”
“I can't afford to lose my income or start again.”
“What if I leave—and realise it was the wrong move?”
You don't have to choose between staying unhappy and throwing away everything you've worked for.
A flexible 1:1 coaching process to help you understand what's changing, explore your options and decide how to move forward.
Make sense of what's no longer working, what you want more of, and what's really behind the desire for change.
Explore your strengths, needs, values and transferable experience—beyond the job title you've outgrown.
Look at staying, shifting or changing direction. Test promising ideas against practical realities such as energy, finances and lifestyle.
Turn insight into decisions, small experiments and an achievable 90-day action plan tailored to your situation.
This isn't a programme that pushes you to quit tech. It's a space to make a thoughtful career decision. The coaching adapts to what you discover along the way.
The aim isn't a dramatic career change. It's a next step that makes sense for you.
Redesign how you work, set boundaries or rediscover what makes your work meaningful.
Move to a different team, company or type of work that fits the life you want now.
Consider a different career without dismissing the skills, knowledge and experience you already have.
We work toward clarity and momentum—not a guaranteed job offer or a predetermined answer.
Meet your coach
I'm Liudmyla Pavlenko, an ICF Associate Certified Coach (ACC), based in Amsterdam. I support people navigating career decisions, transitions and professional growth.
My own career has taken me through education, tech, consulting and coaching. I know that careers rarely move in straight lines—and that changing direction doesn't mean your past experience has lost its value.
In our sessions, I bring thoughtful questions, practical structure and space for honest reflection. I won't decide for you. I'll support you in finding a direction you can stand behind.
Successful sessions
Satisfied clients
Cups of bracing coffee
Hours of hard work
It's normal to have questions before making space for a career change.
Not at all. Career Crossroads is designed for the point when you know something needs to change but can't yet see the best direction.
That's a valid outcome. You may discover that you want a different team, role, work environment or way of working—not a new industry.
Both. We'll make space to understand your situation, then explore real options and work toward a practical 90-day plan. The pace and exercises will be adapted to your goals.
You'll have eight private online coaching sessions. We'll agree on the pace, schedule and practical details together before starting.
I'll share the full programme fee and available payment arrangements before you decide to join. The introductory call is a chance to see whether we're a good fit.
No. This is career coaching, not therapy or medical treatment. If you're experiencing significant burnout symptoms, a healthcare professional or occupational physician can help assess the support you need.
Let's talk about where you are, what you're questioning and whether Career Crossroads is the right support for your next chapter.
