Ask HN: Have you ever pivoted your career?

I started my career as a full-stack developer a few years ago but I've recently become very interested in computer graphics.

I want to transition into this field but I'm not exactly sure how to. It feels weird to go from applying to senior positions as a full-stack engineer to junior positions in graphics. The latter of which I don't even feel fully qualified for.

So this got me wondering if any of you ever made a career pivot. Maybe you've switched from frontend to backend or infra or product management or game development. How did that work out for you?
