Yes all the time. I’d think of it less as a 180 transition into becoming a doctor or accountant and more of a question: what 15 degree pivot could make you 50% less miserable? For account people maybe it’s moving into recruitment. For a strategist it might be moving into qual research. Anyway hope this helps cuz that feeling can be brutal
