A practical framework by career coach Benjamin MacNevin to help professionals in their 20s and 30s navigate pivotal decisions with confidence and purpose.
Your 20s and 30s are full of decisions that shape your future: jobs, promotions, pivots, and even whole career changes. Yet few people are ever taught how to approach these decisions strategically.
The Quarterlife Framework was created to fill that gap. It’s a simple yet powerful tool for building clarity, weighing options, and moving forward with confidence – in your career and in life.
What's inside
- A step-by-step process for clarifying what matters most right now
- Practical questions to help you weigh competing opportunities
- A whole-of-life lens that integrates career, values, and personal goals
- Action steps to move forward without second-guessing yourself
Why the Quarterlife Framework matters
Most people are taught to expect clarity and a fulfilling career will follow hard work. But career paths shift, priorities evolve, and life rarely feels as straightforward as it once did.
The Quarterlife Framework was created for this exact moment – when you’re ready to pause, consider what you truly want, and build a life that reflects it.
It’s a tool for career decisions, yes, but also for the bigger picture:
- Pursuing work that feels meaningful
- Strengthening relationships and personal wellbeing
- Deciding where to focus your energy and what to let go
- Moving from uncertainty to confidence in every area of life
It has been intentionally created so it’s simple enough to use in an afternoon, yet powerful enough to revisit at every turning point. This Framework helps you gain clarity and then gives you specific, practical guidance to act on it.
