After fifteen years of Rails cumulating with my dream job at Apple, I quit to build furniture with zero experience. Here’s what has helped me:
- Find the best people in your new industry and reach out to them. I’m spending four days with a master builder next month after reaching out on their contact us form.
- Join local trade associations, go to meetings, and offer to volunteer. Your unique background may offer a unique set of skills.
- Acknowledge that it will be difficult and possibly uncomfortable at times.
- Have twelve months living expenses in cash savings.
Good luck!
