Your career is the largest investment in your portfolio. A 1% pay rise that compounds over a decade is usually worth more than a 1% better super fund. The Career Analyser at /tools/career/analyser helps you see it.
What it does
It’s a chat. You can either pick one of two starter prompts or just type your own question.
- Analyse my resume — we read the resume you’ve already uploaded into your Rask vault and return a scorecard with the three highest-leverage fixes.
- Where do I sit in my industry? — we look up Australian salary benchmarks for your role and location and show you the band, with cited sources.
In any conversation, you can ask it to show what a pay rise is worth — it’ll render a chart of three career paths over the next 30 years (hold steady, negotiate, step up) and the projected gap in your wealth at the end of each.
Before you start
The Analyser sends your resume and a short context snapshot to Google Vertex (Gemini) so it can run the analysis. Your data stays in your Rask vault — we don’t share it elsewhere. You can stop the chat at any time.
If you don’t see your resume picked up automatically, head to your Documents vault and upload it to Rask docs / Career. The Analyser uses the most recent file in that folder.
Reading the results
Resume scorecard — overall score 0–100 (most resumes land 60–75; reserve 90+ for genuinely excellent), per-section bars, and three prioritised fixes with concrete evidence (e.g. “page 1, summary line”).
Salary band — the 25th, 50th (median), 75th, and 90th percentile for your role × industry × location, with at least one cited source. If we can’t ground the numbers in current AU sources, we’ll tell you so rather than guess.
Compounding paths chart — three lines projecting your household net wealth in real (today’s) dollars:
- Hold steady — CPI-only raises (the do-nothing baseline).
- Negotiate — a one-off bump at your next review.
- Step up — a larger step (e.g. promotion or role change) after a few years.
The gap between the lines at retirement is the lifetime $ value of the career decision. A v1 model uses a flat 30% effective tax rate; a v2 release will swap in proper bracketed Australian tax.
What it won’t do
- It won’t comment on your name, photo, age or any protected characteristic.
- It won’t make up salary benchmarks. If we can’t cite a source, we won’t show a number.
- It won’t paste blocks of your resume back at you.
- It won’t share your data with anyone outside Rask + Google Vertex.
Couples
If you’ve set up a couple in your fact-find, a small switcher pill appears at the top of the page so you can flip between yourselves and your partner. The conversation runs separately for each person.
