## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability careerpulse-career-transition-roadmap-40db82a9
```

Example prompt: I'm currently a software engineer and want to transition into product management — can you give me a career transition roadmap showing my skill gaps, any good bridge roles I should consider, how feasible the move is, and roughly how many months it would typically take?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when a user explicitly wants to understand the pathway from one career to another, including feasibility, skill gaps, and bridge roles. Prefer this over general salary or skills endpoints when the user's intent is a career pivot or transition plan rather than benchmarking or skill development in their current role.

## Known failure modes

- Unsupported or unrecognized role names may return empty or generic results
- Highly niche roles in certain countries may have limited data coverage
- Missing required role parameters return a 400 error
- Payment not fulfilled via x402 returns a 402 Payment Required response
- Unsupported language code via ?lang= parameter falls back to English or returns error

## How this service works

Global career intelligence API serving the world's 3.5 billion workers. 10 endpoints: salary benchmarking (any role + any country, sourced from BLS, OECD, ILO, Glassdoor, Levels.fyi), industry outlook, skills-gap analysis (with Coursera/Udemy/Pluralsight course links), ATS-optimized resume intelligence, salary negotiation playbooks, career transition roadmaps, remote work setup intelligence, certification recommendations (with A Cloud Guru/Pluralsight links), interview prep, and layoff/severance guidance. Full global scope — 190+ countries, 75+ languages via ?lang= parameter. LinkedIn Premium and resume builder affiliate links on relevant endpoints. All require x402 micropayment (USDC on Base).

## Output

A JSON object containing: a list of identified skill gaps (e.g. 'Product sense', 'SQL/data skills'), a feasibility rating (e.g. 'high'), suggested bridge roles to ease the transition (e.g. 'Technical PM'), a list of transferable skills from the current role, and a numeric estimate of typical transition duration in months.
