How to Track ROI on Your Career Moves

Focus: Strategic Thinking / Personal Metrics

---

ROI isn’t just for finance teams. Your career moves should have a return too — in growth, income, influence, or opportunities.

Here’s how to track it:

1. Define What Matters

Is it compensation, skill growth, brand visibility, balance, or leadership potential? You can’t track what you haven’t defined.

2. Look at Before vs. After

Each role or shift should be measured:

• What changed?

• What improved?

• What was sacrificed?

3. Attach Value to Intangibles

Some gains are soft — like confidence or network. Assign a real value to them. Did a new skill save you time? Did a project increase your credibility?

4. Spot the Compounding Effect

Strong moves create ripple effects. Did one role open doors to five others? Did a training improve multiple deliverables?

Track it all.
Your career is an asset — manage it like one.
