My Amazing Life — a digital career explorer

A career explorer for AdvanceNet Labs: anyone from students to working professionals enters their expenses, expectations, education and earnings, and the tool shows what it would practically take to reach their goals.

The client

AdvanceNet Labs is a technology-for-good organisation focused on workforce empowerment — online career and life-skills programmes for people who have been marginalised.

The idea

Most people plan a career without ever putting the numbers side by side. My Amazing Life makes them do exactly that. It is for anyone — from students choosing a path to professionals weighing a change.

How it works

The user enters four things about their life:

  • Expenses — what their life costs, now and in the life they want.
  • Expectations — the life they are aiming for.
  • Education — what they have, and what a path would require.
  • Earnings — what they make today, and what a career could pay.

The tool then recommends what is practically possible: whether the goal is within reach, and what it would take to get there.

How we worked

Built in close collaboration with Keith Thode and Amanda Thode at AdvanceNet Labs.
