I so love the quote from the great Philosopher Sophocles, that there is no success without hardship. In reality, there is no easy road, all roads are bumpy and so winding yet it would always end up to an amazing destination. And also, as the famous mantra goes, and I quote, “No pain, no gain.”
Although you were recently changing career-path, I greatly believe that you will easily adapt although at first there would be changes but you are a brilliant and wise man, you can always do it dear friend, @galenkp. I wish you more success in your endeavor. Have a nice day!
