Your career crossroads, structured.
Whether you just got laid off, you're thinking about quitting, or you're stuck in "should I stay or should I go" — these kits give you a framework to think it through instead of spinning in circles.
Why most people get stuck
When a career crisis hits, there are two common reactions.
One: freeze.
Overthink for months. Stay in the same painful spot.
Two: panic.
Update the resume at midnight. Apply to 40 jobs in a week. Take the first offer that comes.
Both skip the same step: actually sitting down and sorting through what happened, what you want, and how to get there.
That step is what MePlan builds.
Frameworks, not checklists
MePlan doesn't tell you what to do. It gives you structured questions in the right order, so you can figure out your own answers.
Process what happened
Separate the company's situation from who you are. Name what was taken and what's still yours.
Set your direction
What does "work" mean to you? What are your non-negotiables? Where's your Career North Star?
Move with a plan
Build your personal pitch. Map your network. Know your financial runway. Execute.

How to use a MePlan kit
Print it out
These kits are designed for pen and paper. There's a reason for that. Typing is fast. Writing by hand is slow enough to think.
Find a quiet hour
A coffee shop, your kitchen table, a park bench. Somewhere you can sit with your own thoughts.
Follow the questions
You don't have to do every page. Start where your energy is. The structure will guide you.
Walk away with clarity
By the last page, 'what do I do now?' becomes 'here's what I'm doing next.'
Why these frameworks work
Built from 19 years of personal planning practice, across 8 companies in tech. Every framework in these kits has been used, tested, revised, and used again.
Every kit is reviewed by a Stanford Psychology PhD for structural and psychological rigor.
"Three weeks post-layoff, still in shock. This gave me structure when my brain couldn't make one. I ended up taking a role I actually wanted, not just the first offer."

What is a MePlan career kit?
A print-and-pen PDF workbook with structured questions in the right order. Instead of telling you what to do, it helps you process what happened, set your direction, and move with a real plan.
What is the difference between the free kit and the full kit?
The Layoff First Aid is 10 pages of emotional triage and urgent checklists, free. The Career Bounceback Kit is the full 40-page recovery plan covering career direction, financial runway, personal pitch, and a complete action plan.
Do I need to print these kits?
Strongly recommended. Writing by hand slows you down just enough to think clearly. The kits work digitally too, but the pen-and-paper experience is intentional.
Are MePlan kits US-specific?
The career frameworks, direction-setting, and personal pitch tools work anywhere. Some financial sections reference US norms but are easily adapted.
The longer you spin, the longer you stay stuck.
