I made the jump from online advertising to clean tech. It was not easy to re-start my professional network and learn all the new domain knowledge, but it paid off in being able to work in an industry that I really care about.

I've worked in online advertising for 5 years and have been toying around with the same idea for a while now. What did you start doing? If you've got time wouldn't mind asking you a few q's? My email's dharmaone att googles mail service
I'm 6 weeks into the exact same jump and I couldn't possibly be happier that I took it. My impressions thus far is that the industry is growing unimaginably quickly. I'm thrilled to get to be a part of it!
Could you go into detail about what you're doing now and what you were doing before?

I'm a GIS (geographic information systems) developer working for the state government and I'm pretty miserable in my day job. I've been thinking about what I could do in the green tech sector.
