I first used ProValues 2 years ago when I was deciding whether or not to take a job offer. I was so excited about the job, but it was a non-traditional choice and I was worried about what others would think if I took it. ProValues equipped me to see that the job was much more in line with my values. I am proud to say that I took the job, have absolutely loved it, and have a much clearer sense of my career direction now!

After agonizing over whether I should stay in my current role or pursue an MBA, ProValues helped me arrive at my decision. I am thrilled to join Wharton this fall and am certain ProValues will guide me through difficult career decisions during my MBA and beyond.

I am considering 3 jobs and your tool was VERY helpful and more fun and interesting than doing a pro-con list and the results are right-on and will influence my decisions going forward.

I loved the exercise and the structure. It really helped me to think through and highlight what I care about.
