Pivoting from payroll clerk to something new (Pittsburgh)

I want to move from payroll clerk to something with more stability. It has been weighing on me all week. I have a little time and a small budget for training. Has anyone made a similar move?

I began with informational chats, then a short online course, then a related entry-level role. It took about 10 months.

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