# Career Council
You ask one person about your career and you get one answer, shaped by one seat at the table. Your coach roots for you. Your friend in recruiting sees the gate. The hiring manager sees the headache the role exists to solve. None of them sees the whole board, and the one carrying the decision is you.
The Career Council puts every seat in the room at once. It runs your question past the people who actually decide a career, lets them disagree, then a chairman synthesizes where they agree, where they clash, and what you should do.
This is adapted from Andrej Karpathy's LLM Council and the general-purpose LLM Council skill. Same machinery: independent advisors, anonymous peer review, a chairman verdict. The difference is the roster. Instead of abstract thinking lenses, the Career Council seats real stakeholders, the people whose yes or no shapes a career, plus three advisors sitting on your side of the table and, when the decision carries a cost beyond work, the people and the life that pay for it.

- "How do I position myself to move from agency to in-house?"
- "Should I pivot out of my function entirely, or go deeper?"
- "
