I am in the process of pivoting my career.

I am considering doing this. The first step is to find something I would be ok with moving into. Sometimes the higher paying jobs may not be what you love. Also, there are parts of very job that are less enjoyable. The next step is to get the skills/education to make the jump. While getting the education, start looking into areas to jump to. When done fulfilling the knowledge needs, start applying to jobs that you might enjoy.

I am in the same boat. I just finished listening to Comeback Careers by Mika Brzezinski which covers this exact topic. I found it very motivating and it had lots of advice.
