WaypointCareer User Guide

WaypointCareer is a career intelligence platform for mid-to-senior professionals — not a job board. It runs four connected loops in one place: career growth (goals, self-reflection, reading), market awareness (compensation and company watchlists), staying interview-ready (AI prep, question banks, round tracking), and an actual job search when you want one (a personalized radar across 20+ sources with a 9-stage pipeline).

TL;DR — New here? Start with Getting Started (about 15 minutes). Otherwise jump straight to the section you need below. Every page is a short, self-contained read.
