Had anyone left advertising to FIRE? Feeling like sales might be a better path.

Hello all! I am currently in a clinical role as I have been for the past 17 years in neurophysiology. This has been a great experience but time for me to move on. Ideally I’d like to move to some type of analytics perhaps or QA; remote work would be perfect. I have a BS and MBA in healthcare management. Anyone have any leads they can share? I’ve been looking for awhile now with little luck on my own so I thought it wouldn’t hurt to ask here.
