Career transition advice and professional development

A career pivot does not necessarily require a complete abandonment of one's current professional life; it can involve smaller shifts to acquire new skills or apply existing knowledge in different ways. To identify the need for change, individuals are encouraged to map their skills and strengths and seek feedback from colleagues who can identify strengths the individual may overlook.

Professional development can be supported through continuous learning and internal opportunities within an organization. For example, Ingrid Lepik transitioned from a personnel specialist to a junior software developer in the product development and technology field at SEB. While new roles may initially feel like being a beginner, consistent skill refinement leads to mastery.
