The same wall, different corridor
You have changed companies twice, industries once. The wall is still there. When the wall survives the corridor change, the wall is you — or rather, a pattern you run.
How loops form
A career loop usually starts as adaptation: over-functioning to prove yourself in your first job, hedging to stay safe in a volatile one. What worked once becomes automatic. Twenty years later it runs whether or not it serves you.
Breaking the loop
You can’t outrun a loop; you have to see it. Name the trigger, map the sequence, find where it was learned. Then design one counter-move and test it before the next trigger arrives.
The One Action: Name your wall in one sentence. If the sentence blames a person, try again.
