Respuesta rápida
How smart people say "What should I do?"
Instead of "What should I do?", ask "What do you suggest?" when you talk to a boss or client, and "What would you do?" when you talk to a friend you trust. When you want to sound focused and ready to act, ask "What's my next move?" All three ask for advice, but each one fits a different person and situation.

Explicación de cada frase
-
What do you suggest? Tono: Polite and open
Use it with a boss, client, or colleague when you want their idea and you're open to it. It's a little formal for a close friend, but it still works there.
“Griff, what do you suggest?”
-
What would you do? Tono: Friendly and personal
Ask a friend you trust when you want their personal opinion, not an official answer. Avoid it in formal situations where the other person can't really put themselves in your position.
“What would you do, Holiness?”
-
What's my next move? Tono: Bold and focused
Here, move means your next step, like in a game. Use it when you're ready to act and want a plan. It sounds too casual for a sad or serious personal moment.
“Well, what's my next move?”
-
What would you recommend? Tono: Polite and professional
Use it with someone who has more experience, such as a manager, a shop assistant, or a waiter. It asks for their expert choice. With a close friend, it can sound a little stiff.
-
If you were me, what would you do? Tono: Warm and honest
Use it when you want someone to imagine your exact situation. It works well with friends and family. It's longer, so it fits a real talk, not a quick question.
-
What are my options? Tono: Calm and practical
Use it when you want a list of possible choices before you decide. It's good with banks, offices, and customer service. It doesn't ask for a personal opinion.
Errores frecuentes
-
No suena natural
What do you suggest me?Mejor así What do you suggest? / What do you suggest I do?
Suggest doesn't take a person right after it. Use it alone, or add a clause such as "I do." You can also say "What would you suggest?"
-
No suena natural
What you would do?Mejor así What would you do?
In a direct question, the helper verb would comes before the subject you. Keep "you would" order only inside another sentence, as in "Tell me what you would do."
-
No suena natural
If I were you, what would you do?Mejor así If you were me, what would you do?
You're asking the other person to imagine your situation, so they become you: "If you were me." People use "If I were you" when they give advice, not when they ask for it.
