I probably fit the profile for the people you help, and so much of what you share here in Blockers and Bottlenecks describes my experience. I must add that since I decided to go for this career change, I’ve found some fantastic resources within the EA community ready to help and advise me; people have been very helpful, encouraging and supportive. But maybe if I’d known about you I would have attempted the move 5 years ago. I love the “giving permission” mentality.
I’ll fill out one of the “let us know here” sections. But just wanted to reply publicly to highlight the importance of the support you provide. Many of the most innovative and successful companies continue to hire and retain people with a lot of seniority, so we’re obviously useful for something :).
This is awesome, Claire!
