Thanks for starting this bowl.

Certainly any tips or resources or approaches to pivot are good discussions. Many want to pivot but have security concerns or don't see the path to get there.

Probably obvious but wanted to respond and get this discussion rolling! :)

Can’t decide on a job offer. Currently employed and have been wanting to do something different. The other job offer is pretty much what I make now but I’d be losing on a lot of PTO. I kind of feel really confused about what to do. The hiring manager actually picked up on the fact that I don’t sound super excited for the job. But I feel like this is my chance to leave and do something different but I’m hung up on barely any PTO and swapping to a complete different industry.

I’ve been teaching AP computer science through teach for America for the past few years in boston. I’m looking to transition into the tech world. I studied economics and graduated in 2019 and joined TFA right away. I was recently accepted into the MPCS program at UChicago and I am trying to decide if it is worth the investment. I imagine if I did one of those coding boot camps I could land a decent job as an engineer or product manager - would a masters degree give me that much more leverage

I'm considering pivoting to copywriting because that's the part of my role I'm best at -- a lot of the account management stuff is draining, but I can whip out social and marketing copy quickly & I enjoy it. Wondering if anyone has insight / leads on making the jump from accounts to the copy side when applying for jobs? 5 YOE, 3 in-agency with a mix of automotive and pharma + a side gig as a published author with muliple books (hoping that'll help on the creative / copy end?)
