18 – 25 years: Career planning and professional growth

Imagine that you get the opportunity to work on a project that could open doors to your dream career, but it requires a lot of uncertainty and risk. How do you react? I will dive into it without hesitation, even though I don't know what awaits me.
First, I will gather as much information as possible and try to minimize the risk.
I will consult someone more experienced and consider whether it is worth it.
I will prioritize stability and wait for other opportunities.
I am thinking about how I could adjust the project to suit my abilities and needs.

Imagine that you have hit a dead end in your career path and you don't know how to move forward. What will you do? I will use this situation as an opportunity to explore new possibilities.

I will wait and hope that the situation resolves itself.
I will try to adapt and accept the current situation, even though I am not completely satisfied.

When deciding between two job offers, you realize that one of them is well-paid but does not align with your values and interests. How will you decide? I will choose a job that will bring me more money – I will be able to buy freedom later.
I will choose a job that makes sense to me, even if I earn less.
I will try to negotiate the terms so that both parties are balanced.
I will compare the long-term benefits of both offers and make a rational choice.
I'm looking for a third option that would combine the advantages of both.

You receive an offer for a leadership position, but you feel uncertain. How do you decide? I will accept it and learn on the go.
I will consider whether I have enough experience and consult someone.
I will wait until I feel more ready.
I will refuse and focus on improving my skills.
I am looking for a compromise – perhaps to gain experience first as a leader's representative.

The freedom to do what fulfills me.

First, I will think about strategies and consider the options.
I will seek help and experiences from other people.
I will take some time to think and give myself some distance.

Satisfaction that I did not make my decisions solely based on the expectations of others.
A balanced life in which I maintained harmony between work and personal happiness.
