What's a sensible first step?
General careers checklist (not specific advice for this thread):
- Clarify the real constraint: money, skills, network, burnout, or a specific person.
- Document your achievements with numbers - they fuel raises, resumes and interviews.
- Talk to three people already doing the role you want; ask what they'd do in your position.
