Your career has a trajectory. Most tools are designed to hide it from you.
Arc shows you the actual signal — velocity, momentum, ceiling proximity, market desirability — and tells you exactly what it finds. Not what keeps you engaged. What's true.

Key finding
Four years at EM with no Director conversation is being read by the market as a ceiling, not a choice. At 11 years, that distinction stops mattering. Every quarter without a title move widens the comp gap and narrows the window. Estimated 12–14 months before the path closes.

Ceiling Detector
The thing nobody else will say to your face: you are approaching the top of what this path can give you. The blocking factors named. What it would take to break through, specified.
You've been in ceiling proximity for 14 months. The market is reading this as your maximum.
The window to act is 90 days, not 12 months.
71Steady
You're 22% below market for your trajectory profile. Every month makes internal correction harder.
Your negotiating leverage is strongest before you're entrenched.
88Accelerating
Velocity is exceptional. Market desirability is high. This is the window to compound.
The next 6 months determine the next 6 years.
Illustrative · Arc generates this from your actual career history
Year one is inference. Year three is prediction. Users who confirm outcomes — “I got the promotion,” “I made the switch,” “I took the offer” — generate the labeled outcome data no competitor can buy. The accuracy compounds. You benefit from everyone who came before you.
