Let's say if you working as scrum master.. resign and start tea bandi now you can be tea master. This is one way.

Jokes apart.. get higher education, do certifications, move to a new country , internal job rotations are some.

Don't put down papers just like that. There needs to be gradual overlap.
I think it depends a lot on if you're shifting to something unrelated or maybe in the IT industry only.

It could be a new tech, farming, stock market
1. Do courses or and self study in the new industry or tech you're trying to get into
2. Start practicing the new thing in bits and pieces. If it's in the tech industry, do your own projects
3. Really understand if it is where you want to go to in terms of your future career. See if it really drives you.
4. If you've decided to go ahead, as you are leaving current industry, do less and less since it will no longer matter.

If it's a different role available in your current org, talk to your manager and find out how you can move. That's the best way to go ahead!
All the best

Before you resign, you go job hunting already. If you get a good offer, you resign then take your severance pay and save it.

First, you need to be sure that you really want to change careers. You might find it difficult to transition back. Second, improve your skills, especially the ones needed for your new job. Lastly, hope and pray that you get a job in a good company with good compensation. Best of luck! :)

Hi! Identify your transferable skills. Research your chosen industry, and find out which of your existing skills and strengths apply to it.

I’m trying to pivot to PM after >3 years in finance and I have a 2nd round interview with CPO this week. Company has 3.7 on Glassdoor with complaints about CEO, “bro-y” culture, and hard to wfh. It’s a data analytics company with 5 PMs, was bought by a PE firm this year, and has a new (female) CEO as of Oct. Role is 50/50 hybrid, pays well vs what I make, and most importantly would be a foot in the door to PM. Is this a good place to be for PM? What else do I need to find out to know for sure?

Hi All, just sharing what on mind to vent it out from my system. Maybe with this I could gain some insights and inspiration.
I have been working as a data scientist since 2018 & have been the bread winner. I have neither been under a proper mentor nor with a team of peers from my field to help me out. I was alone and confused. I have never really got the chance to prove myself which makes me all the more depressed. I'm not sure what to do with my future, indecisive and low on confidence.

WFH Vs WF Office Vs Hybrid, Which one should you take?
If you are fresher, go for a WF Office setup. You will learn things beyond your work. In the initial phase of of your career, one needs to focus more on learning than on comfort. The interactions at office, meeting with collegues, conversations at the cafeteria, sense of responsibilty, the need to walk up on time to reach office etc will shape you for better.

Once you have a work experience of few year then any setup is fine. Go for WFH.

Hi Everyone,
I need your views and suggestions. I have two doubts:
1. Is it fair to leave an organisation (big brand) after a year as the environment is real toxic and there’s no career growth as well in terms of good work.
2. If I have to make a switch do I really have to target big brands only or can try for medium and small size companies too.
