Recently a top-ish level, very liked manager of ours left our department citing "not liking where his career was going", and it got me thinking since I started working in software and data if I wanted to chase my original dreams again. It's been a great four years with this company, but the domain, biotech, bores me. There were a few domains I had interest in such as market data, logistical data for shipping, but most importantly working with data and networking that can assist in the development of space technology.
I haven't heard a lot of good things about SpaceX, in honesty, but I have seen news on Impulse for example, though they are looking for someone much more qualified than me as a startup.
If I can't break into the space sector, how would I begin pivoting to a domain I have interest in? I have begun learning networking more in depth than basic college level as it interests me, but how would I pivot my current data engineering experience to other similar fields or domains?
