For me the biggest challenge was discovering entirely new industry from scratch. I’ve been working in book publishing for 7 years as an editor and scout and transitioned to IT startups as an author. When you are a person of literature stepping into tech world is sooo hard 😄 but I love it and I am the luckiest girl to have the best team of developers who support my career journey and explain everything to me with an immense patience 😄

@chemical_bull Thanks for sharing! Indeed, when it comes to career transition, we are facing many unknowns.

But once we've navigated those unknowns and found a career that aligns with our interests and values, it's going to be a very rewarding journey. 😊

I remember when I decided to switch from my corporate job to pursue a career in the public sector. It was daunting! The uncertainty of whether I was making the right choice was a constant battle in my mind. But you know what helped me through? Connecting with others who had made similar transitions. Their stories, advice, and even just their empathy made a world of difference.

One thing I wished existed during my transition was a comprehensive guide tailored specifically for those transitioning int jobs. Sure, there are general career transition resources out there, but having something catered to the unique challenges and opportunities of government roles would have been incredibly helpful.
