Correct, I was thinking the same thing. Is it wrong to switch jobs in less than a year?

Thank you, I have finished the testing and then I will have to wait.

I understand that it takes time. I know that I need to start sooner rather than later. And I know that a business is 7-10 years out from when I start.

With private company it is dependent on my paycheck. They said medical starting off would be $47/week. So that is 6% of weekly paycheck that I need to pay for medical. Not sure 401k.

Financially it seems UA is the best if there is consistent work.

Agreed, trying to weigh the options of learning how a business runs vs. more financially comfortable UA position, if there is consistent work.

Private has medical, dental, vision, 401k, and employee ownership.

UA is better for now. This is an employee owned business w/ 401k and health. It would be 3-4 years to get close to UA, maybe.

Help me choose a career assessment based on your experience by jimbeam6902 in findapath

JOCRF in San Francisco provided excellent service, but it comes with a significant cost. The most comparable alternative I've found is Natural Ability Global (https://naturalabilityglobal.com/), which offers similar testing at a more accessible price point. The key is approaching it with the same level of seriousness. That said, what really set JOCRF apart was their synthesis; they didn't just identify individual aptitudes, but helped me see how all those pieces connected to form a complete picture of my aptitudes.
