I moved from SE to UX because I needed a change from coding 8 hours a day. That's one of the field where I could easily transfer my skills. The interview process usually requires a portfolio, 2 phone interviews and one onsite interview. I had to talk about previous projects and what was my problem solving process, followed by a case to solve. This was refreshing and way less stressful, a walk in the park compared to the white board interview. I understand the challenges that hiring managers face, but who has time to spend a day at 5-10 companies to switch job... A lot of companies still offer only 10-15 days vacation a year...
