Changing careers at 11 years into a job, is it realistic? - 4 months and counting

My layoff made me rethink whether to stay in my field. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. I have good customer skills and I am comfortable with spreadsheets. How did you start?

You likely have more transferable skills than you think. Write down what you did, not what the job title said.

Try a small project in the new field before committing. It told me a lot about whether I would enjoy it.
