I sympathize with you! I am currently going through the same thing. I have been in my field for 10+ years. Wanting to pívot but not sure where I am able to use my transferable skills. I have applied to so many roles that fit my experience but aren’t exactly doing what I’m attempting to leave. No one gives me an opportunity though. It’s definitely discouraging.

Let’s support each other through this! 🙏🏼

Imagine you're looking for a remote job at a large company with a sophisticated marketing function, strong manager, and room for growth. Making good traction, but then you're contacted by a company in a niche that FASCINATES you...like you read books about this subject for fun, you'd probably love this job. It's remote, the salary is good, the manager is nice, but you'd be the most senior marketing person; the company is about 200 people. What would you do?
