Pick the role you do now. You get the roles that ask for the same skills, what carries over, and what you would be missing — from the occupational data, not from a guess about how careers go.

Being straight about it

What this map is not

An edge here means the occupational data lists the same skill for both roles. It does not mean people move between them, or that one leads to the other.
There is no timeline, no salary and no difficulty rating, because nothing in this dataset measures any of those.
Skills come from O*NET, ESCO and India's NCO. They describe the occupation as catalogued, not any particular job advert.
A missing skill is a gap in the catalogue's terms, not a verdict on you. You may already have it under a different name.

A shared skill is only worth something if your resume shows it
