Marcus spent eight years doing FIFO work in the Pilbara, pulling massive coin but absolutely hating his life. Two weeks on, one week off, rinse and repeat. His mates back in Perth thought he had it made—the money was incredible—but Marcus felt like he was slowly dying inside.

"I'm 35, single, and I've got nothing but money in the bank," he told his brother during a rare weekend home in Joondalup. "What's the bloody point if I'm miserable?"

His brother suggested he wasn't stuck in mining—he just didn't know what else he was qualified for. "You're a supervisor managing 20 blokes in high-pressure environments. That's leadership, mate. You're not just a FIFO worker."

That conversation led Marcus to search online: "best career change for mining workers Perth." Among the job boards and recruitment sites, he found an AI Career Development Blueprint on zaishi.net that promised to identify transferable skills and optimal career paths.

The analysis scored his professional aptitude at 88/100 and revealed something Marcus never considered: project management, logistics coordination, and operations leadership across industries like construction, logistics, and even tech startups. The AI mapped his complete career timeline, showing his peak earning years were coming in his late 30s and early 40s—but in roles that didn't require him to live in mining camps.

Within six months, Marcus transitioned to a project manager role with a major construction firm in Perth, coordinating large-scale infrastructure projects across WA. He's home every night, earning comparable money, and actually excited about work again.

"I thought I was trapped," Marcus says. "Turns out I just needed someone—or something—to translate my mining experience into opportunities I never knew existed."
