Plan a Quiet Career Pivot While Still Employed

You want out of your current field, but you still need the salary and the reference, so a dramatic announcement is not an option. This builds a realistic timeline for the pivot: what skills already transfer, how to test the new direction quietly, and when it is safe to start applying properly.

4. List three low risk ways to test the new field before committing fully
