What advice would you give to someone considering a career pivot?

Start with a side job first and don't quit your main job yet. You might find it's not suitable after some time.

Definitely start with a side gig first to test the waters before making a full career switch. And make sure you have some savings to fall back on in case it takes a while to ramp up income in the new field. Networking is key too - talk to people already working in the industry you want to pivot to and get their insights and advice. It's a big decision so don't rush into it, but fortune favors the bold! Go for it if it feels right.

Tell her to network in the sale field. Reaching out to people already in sales can give her insights and maybe even mentorship.

Start small! Suggest she try side projects or freelance sales gigs to get a feel for the industry before fully jumping in.

Confidence is key. Pivoting can be intimidating, but if she believes in her ability to learn and adapt, she’ll thrive.
