I'm at a crossroads in my career. I've worked hard to build a career in finance, but I keep feeling drawn back to my passion for teaching music. For those who have switched to a completely different career, how did you make your decision?

Weekdays - work
Weekends - teach music

I have seen people who followed their passion ( mostly acting or social media influencing) , left their jobs, went broke and are now trying to return to work force.

Don't jump the boat unless your passions earns you enough money to sustain your lifestyle.

consider exploring part-time teaching opportunities in music

I’ve worked in sales for 12 years (8 years retail sales and management, 4 years inside tech sales and management). I’m feeling the burn and looking for something else in the tech field. I’m making $140k. I have a college degree but no marketing, engineering, or product experience. What other departments/jobs could I jump to and still keep close to my OTE? I’m pretty good at Salesforce and have thought about a SFDC admin type role, but that’s all I’ve thought of so far.

Made a career pivot to another agency. During the interview we talked about how it may start as initially a "step backwards" (pay/benefits) but has potential for more long term growth. First day was yesterday. Had no communication about when or where to show up, sat in an empty office for about half an hour before a couple people finally showed. No phone call or email. Sent an email to the founder, no response. I could easily get my old job back if wanted.

What would you do in this situation?
