@kimmyrose So back then, my dad was still earning in his last 2 years before retirement, so the timing was perfect for me to take my paycut and jump directly where I wanted to go.
If things came crashing, i had a safety net for a few months at last.
If you’re the sole breadwinner, the only realistic way you can do this is through adjacent / lateral shifts.
Whatever two unrelated roles you take, there’s usually a path that maps them.*
Marine engineering and corporate comms at a b2c company.
Marine engineer > technical communication specialist at a marine B2B company > marketing manager at same company > Marketing manager at the B2B group of a traditional B2C company > Corp Comms at B2C company.
If you can’t afford to take a paycut, list down your transferable skills and jot a path to your final destination. Instead of wanting to directly get there, that would be unrealistic.
