Have you made a pivot at any point in your career? What did it look like?

The majority of folks here are on linear paths but I’m curious to hear from folks who have mid pivots in their careers. 
 

-what we’re you doing originally?

-what did you pivot to?

-what made you want to make a career pivot?

-how old were you when you decided to pivot?
