question for career changers

curious about ppl who change careers: how do you know that you're making the right move? isn't it hard to know that you'll be happy working in an entirely new field before you've had the chance to actually try it?

I want to follow this conversation. I'm looking to change career and industry. For me personally, I don't know if I'm making the right decision but I do know if I don't make one then I'll be miserable knowing that I didn't even try. I think the happiness part comes into the play if you've spent time really thinking about why you want to change careers and what type of roles you'll feel fulfilled in. Change isn't easy for everyone and it's scary but you can't let the fear of the unknown hold you back. Think of it this way, when you started your current job did you know everything? Were you an expert? I know I was pretty nervous when I first started to interview for jobs out of undergrad.

You're invited.
