Changing careers at 6 years into a job, is it realistic?

My layoff made me rethink whether to stay in my field. It has been weighing on me all week. I have good customer skills and I am comfortable with spreadsheets. How did you start?

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

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