When planning your career, consider creating an A.B.Z. plan. Plan A involves mapping out your ideal scenario and the steps to achieve it. Plan B includes nearby alternatives to switch to if Plan A doesn't work out. Plan Z acts as a fallback option if all else fails, helping you avoid unacceptable outcomes and become more comfortable with taking risks. Planning A.B.Z. can provide a sense of security and flexibility in pursuing your career goals.
