The contemporary work context is characterized by unpredictability, thus requiring the ability of individuals to adapt to changes imposed by the market. Career adaptability refers to the individual's ability to handle working transitions in turbulent times. This study aimed to test the structural invariance of the last Brazilian version of the Career Adapt-Abilities Scale (CAAS) according to sex and observe possible differences between men and women in the dimensions of adaptability. The sample consisted of 599 Brazilian professionals, of both sexes, with higher education level. The CAAS was subject to confirmatory factor analysis and invariance testing, demonstrating structural invariance according to sex. A subsequent MANOVA evidenced the lack of differences between men and women in the four dimensions of the CAAS. Results corroborate the consistency and reliability of the CAAS as an instrument for measuring career adaptability in both sexes. © 2019 Universidade Sao Francisco.
