Thank you @tojewunmi for sharing these insightful tips for making a career change. As someone who transitioned from a Business Analyst to a Scrum Master, I can certainly relate to the feelings of apprehension and uncertainty that come with such a significant shift.
Your advice resonates deeply with me, especially the emphasis on assessing skills, networking, upskilling, and seeking mentorship. These steps have been instrumental in my own journey towards becoming a Scrum Master today.
I couldn’t agree more with your encouragement to embrace the journey, focus on progress, and trust in our preparation. It’s all about taking those small steps forward, one at a time.
