Transferable skills and bridge roles that make a career pivot realistic.
A career change rarely means truly starting from zero.
Identify your transferable skills

A role that combines your old field and new one (like technical sales, or operations in a new industry) eases the transition.
Fill specific gaps, not everything
Take one targeted course or certification rather than trying to re-credential from scratch.
