> I was a software engineer for 30+ years and got completely burned out on it, so I left engineering to do technical writing

How did you make this transition? Any credentials/certifications you needed? Did you transition within the same company?

My college degree was in writing, so I used that and a portfolio to make the transition. During interviews, it seems my software engineering experience and portfolio are more valued than my writing degree though.
