Pivoting into a new role and I’m somewhere between scared and excited and terrified and energized. It’s not imposter syndrome because I know I don’t know what I’m doing - and that’s kind of the point of re-invention. For those of you who made a major career change and landed on your feet, what advice do you have?

You already have a good grip on what to do. Know what you don't know. Don't be afraid to ask questions of those who have been in that department for several years. Pay attention to what needs to be done. Don't try to be all things to all people or an expert on every minute detail of the operations. It takes about three months to get your "sea legs" in a major jump from worker bee to queen bee.

I have been in Recruiting and HR for 11 years and thinking about making a career move. Ild love to hear from anyone that’s made a career move from HR to a different role.

Anyone know any companies or know of anyone that had no direct experience but was hired as a product manager? I have a background in marketing and some technical skills but I have no product experience. I want to pivot from marketing/operations to a product manager role.
