DevPathfinder™
Hey, Jayme here!
Today I want to show you a tool that learns what you want, then shows you where to go in your tech career.
It’s a career assessment unlike anything else in the tech industry called DevPathfinder.
Follow data, not influencers.
Wondering if you’re still on the best path for your tech career?
Or thinking about making a change, and worried it might be WORSE than what you’re already doing?
Unfortunately, everyone seems to have an opinion on what you should (and should not) do in your tech career these days.
But that only makes sense, if you’re just like everyone else.
What one person likes the most about a tech job, could be exactly what drives you to burnout – depending on who you are.
What you need is tech career advice that’s personalized to what makes YOU different!
Which aspects of a tech career are key to long term satisfaction and growth?
DevPathfinder evaluates you across 28 Key Development Career Aspects (KDCAs).
KDCAs are the aspects of your tech career that determine what you actually like to do – not just what you’re good at.
If you’re fearing making a wrong move in your tech career, or you’re stuck in “analysis paralysis” – DevPathfinder can break you free.
After your evaluation, you’ll learn:
- Why your tech job has felt exciting (or depressing!) up until now.
- Which aspects of your career you’re falling behind on, that are holding you back from more meaningful work and well-being.
- The tech job roles you’re most likely to naturally succeed in, so you can impress coworkers or clients and stop being micromanaged.
- New career paths to overcome imposter syndrome or self-doubt.
- Whether it’s the right time for you to become a leader, manager, consultant, or entrepreneur.
This information can stop you from relying on “gut feel” when you make decisions about your tech career.
You’ll have some actual DATA to guide you.
A tech career guided by self-awareness – your career compass.
If you want to make a great living AND have a healthy work/life balance in tech, you need to do work that fits who you are. But it’s hard to know what any tech job is really like until we do it, right?
After working on over 40 software projects, I’ve held many different tech job roles. And as a consultant, I’ve worked closely with all of them.
Each tech job role requires different things of us as human beings.
For example, a programmer needs to be able to handle a lot of complexity and stay focused for long periods of time. A product manager needs to have a lot of energy for people and care a lot about customers. And these are just a couple examples of differences!
If you don’t understand these differences, you can find yourself stuck in a job that sucks the life out of you. But it’s not your fault. The tech industry spends billions of dollars on marketing to convince you to do the work that benefits them – not what’s truly best for you!
DevPathfinder understands all the critical differences between 25 of the top job roles in tech. It matches what you like to do, with the requirements of each tech job role. It also knows if you’re ready for exciting career paths like leadership, management, consulting, and entrepreneurship.
And it does this by forcing you to confront what you REALLY want.
How DevPathfinder works
You’ll start by taking a short self-assessment. It takes under 20 minutes to complete. The assessment asks questions that get you thinking outside the box. This is how you’ll start to break free from other people’s bad advice and expectations – and get back in touch with what’s best for you.
These questions address topics your employer may not want you thinking about – so just be prepared to have your eyes opened.
The assessment will uncover:
- How tired (or energized) working with other people makes you.
- How much you truly desire using math, statistics, and logic in your work.
- Whether you care more about business, or technology.
- How you feel about learning, teaching, writing, and giving presentations.
- Whether you should take responsibility for other people’s work.
- How strongly you want to impact the user experience, operations, or the brand reputation at a company.
- And much more…
After the evaluation, DevPathfinder instantly shows you your results.
By drilling into the data, you’ll understand exactly what you want – and the paths you can take to get there.

What are people saying about DevPathfinder?
Here’s what a few of my customers who’ve already bought DevPathfinder thought about using it:
“I’ve been primarily in backend and database management, but I still enjoy the DevOps side of things. After hours I often work on my personal hobby which is game development. Finishing DevPathfinder was very insightful. Not just the results at the end, but also the journey. Answering the questions gave me a lot to think about. The results were simultaneously surprising, and not. I couldn’t help but smile as 3 of the 5 recommendations popped up and spoke about DevOps or Game Development! The other two were surprising, but also made a lot of sense when I thought about it (QA Engineer and Systems Engineer). I’m also curious to redo the evaluation as my situation changes. I have affinities for many more things than I realized – I just need time to explore them! So thank you for the course. I feel like I finally have words to explain my situation, and ideas on where to go next. This will be (literally, I suspect) a lifesaver.“
– Caleb Zeeman
“I found the questions very well structured. Having gotten to the last question (with a brief pause to walk to the kitchen to feed my cat), I was pleasantly surprised that the suggestions actually aligned with my recent thoughts on perhaps a shift in direction towards front-end development, QA, and then fullstack (which is currently what I do). I think it aids in taking the complicated thinking out of what career might be suited. It works for people already in a tech job who may be dissatisfied in their role. But also could help for anyone changing careers from a non-tech role – but interested in tech.“
– Saira
“The experience of DevPathfinder is great, and the knowledge-related materials are extremely beneficial. I look forward to accessing this content in the coming years, allowing me to cross-reference knowledge as I advance in my career and gain insights. It’s a pleasure to use the product!“
– Stoyan Korudzhiev
“The analysis of DevPathfinder was good. You can tell that there has been a lot of thoughtful work that has gone into building it. Interesting thing was that the first 2 positions it recommended for me were DevOps and Game Engine Designer, but I have long avoided those 2 positions because of the work hours & responsibilities that they tend to demand (which I saw that in the first years of my career). The #3 position it recommended was QA Engineer. And I’ve been a SDET for 30 years now. So essentially I navigated to my overall best match when combined with the kind of hours & responsibilities that I wanted. I’ve been enjoying being an SDET all these years and have always wanted to continue doing it. DevPathfinder definitely helped me consolidate my overall thoughts on the future of my career path.”
– Curtis Siemens
Who should NOT use DevPathfinder?
Don’t be like this guy. A fixed mindset is exactly what kills growth in tech careers.
I hate to be a buzzkill, but if I’m not totally honest here you’re going to be really disappointed. Please don’t use DevPathfinder if you’re thinking: “I already know which way to go!“.
The whole purpose of using it is to gain NEW insights. It’s supposed to show you your blind spots.
If you take the evaluation and are surprised by the results, that means DevPathfinder did its job! Dig into the data and find out – “why didn’t I see this about myself“? The information is right there in front of you. But you have to want to know.
