SUMMARY:4 myths about making a career change
DESCRIPTION:Why does it seem like so many people have made career changes? \nHow did they do it? 🤔 \nThis was the question I was asking myself when making my career change. \nBy all measures my career pivot ended up being a raging success. I pivoted from teaching high school to working at Microsoft in four months. \nBut it almost didn’t happen. \nLet’s back up to the summer of 2014. \nI knew I wanted a role in tech\, so I did what most people do – I started on LinkedIn. \nBut LinkedIn’s algorithm told me I wasn’t qualified for anything except what I had already been doing. \nLinkedIn was wrong.😯 \nNot only did I land a role at Microsoft\, but a year after that\, I was in my dream job at a startup that went public. \nIn four years I was able to 2.3x my income and become a hiring manager\, building and leading a team of 8. \nBut I knew that I wasn’t special. I saw how much the career landscape was changing and how hiring teams NEEDED career changers.

SUMMARY:4 myths about making a career change
DESCRIPTION:Why does it seem like so many people have made career changes? \nHow did they do it? 🤔 \nThis was the question I was asking myself when making my career change. \nBy all measures my career pivot ended up being a raging success. I pivoted from teaching high school to working at Microsoft in four months. \nBut it almost didn’t happen. \nLet’s back up to the summer of 2014. \nI knew I wanted a role in tech\, so I did what most people do – I started on LinkedIn. \nBut LinkedIn’s algorithm told me I wasn’t qualified for anything except what I had already been doing. \nLinkedIn was wrong.😯 \nNot only did I land a role at Microsoft\, but a year after that\, I was in my dream job at a startup that went public. \nIn four years I was able to 2.3x my income and become a hiring manager\, building and leading a team of 8. \nBut I knew that I wasn’t special. I saw how much the career landscape was changing and how hiring teams NEEDED career changers.
