What it analyses

Five cards. One honest picture.

Most career tools show you the destination. Pivot Intelligence shows you both directions — the cost of leaving and the cost of staying.

01
Financial trade-off
Entry salary, year 1 gap, 10-year trajectory, break-even year, domain ceiling. Wired to NHS AFC pay bands 2025/26.
02
Quality of life delta
Stress, hours, on-call burden, autonomy, fulfilment — before and after. The numbers most people forget to model.
03
Live NHS roles
Real job postings in your target domain right now. Entry, mid, and senior level. Actual employers, actual bands, apply links.
04
Skills gap
Upload your CV — we match your experience against what NHS job packs actually require in your target domain.
05
AI assessment
An honest, personalised verdict — skills bridge, CV reframe paragraph, and a clear now or not yet conclusion.
Also
The cost of staying
What does your current path look like in 5 years if nothing changes? Burnout trajectory, salary ceiling, the time cost of indecision.

Common questions

Things people ask before they start

Is this financial advice?
No. Pivot Intelligence is a career intelligence tool. All figures are indicative, based on NHS AFC pay bands and job market data. Speak to a financial adviser before making major income-affecting decisions — particularly around NHS pension implications.
How accurate is the salary data?
Salary figures are based on NHS Agenda for Change pay bands for England 2025/26. Entry salary projections reflect typical entry points for career changers — not guaranteed starting salaries. Actual offers depend on your specific experience and the hiring organisation.
Does my CV get stored?
If you upload a CV, the extracted skills are saved to your Career Co-Pilot profile to improve your readiness score and future analyses. No raw CV text is stored permanently. No identifying information reaches the AI.
What if I don't know which domain to transition into?
That's exactly what Step 3 is for. Based on your current role and drivers, we recommend your top 3 matched domains — with plain-English descriptions, live role counts, and why they fit your profile. You can also browse all 25 NHS domains.
What happens to my inputs if I don't sign up immediately?
Your inputs are automatically saved to your browser and our database for 7 days. When you create a free account, they're retrieved and linked to your profile — you won't need to start over.
Is it really free?
Steps 1–3 are completely free with no account required. The full results — financial model, live roles, skills gap, AI assessment, and PDF download — require a free Career Co-Pilot membership. No credit card, no subscription.
