Ask HN: Ever faced difficulties pivoting your job or career later in your life?

Thanks for the offer mate! That was really nice!

I want to note that I actually do still have a job (funny enough, most consider my company as "consulting") and the reason I want to change jobs is simply that I been in it for 12 years and want to move on from my niche.

Also, being in telco for so long, I have had my fair share of dealing with Accenture, IBM, Deloitte, Infosys, etc and no offense to these companies but it is not exactly the sort of working environment I will like to be in having been in a similar company for the past 5 years. ;)

I can relate to that and there is also a reason why I left the industry.

In my case, I started freelancing again as developer (which raised a few eyebrows at my first clients, but that went away quickly) and contracted a couple of years at a telecommunications provider implementing provisioning services. I was at the start of my thirties then, so probably your current age.

I now work completely outside the big corporations and I wouldn't want to go back. Good luck!
