I’m 41. Rebooted into a tangential career in tech startup land after spending my entire career in insurance.

I feel great about my decision. I’m learning lots of new things. I’m exploring new skills, tactics, strategies. I’ll be 2 years in (next June) and be able to tell a great story about why I did this and all the great outcomes. And that’s despite all the headaches and stress that come taking the risk. Also, all that knowledge and work experience is definitely worth a ton.

Go for it. I remind myself daily of my little blurb and it’s a really quite a powerful motivator. Happy to help separate from HN too if you need it!
