Pivoting from production planner to something new

My layoff made me rethink whether to stay in my field. I worked as a production planner before this. My family is supportive but nervous. Did you take a pay cut?

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

I began with informational chats, then a short online course, then a related entry-level role. It took about 5 months.
