Ever felt boxed into one corner of the industry? Thinking about a pivot but not sure where to start. Have you successfully switched paths mid-career?

I made a pivot which was shifting from the creative side to the business side, which I suppose would be the most common path. For me it was something that just happened without a lot of planning. I was involved with projects and work on them led to what was more or less a slow evolution rather than a carefully calculated navigational change.

No, but know many people who did. Figuring out what you’d like to branch out to is step 1. After that, you can talk to others already there and try to learn from their path. Probably be surprised how many non-traditional starts there are.

It’s not mid career as much but I’m basically trying to do a complete shift of what I was interested in, it’s taking time but I think I’m getting there.
