How to Navigate a Career Pivot in Your Forties

Lucas and Luna tackle the specific challenges of changing careers in your forties, using the real-world case of a 44-year-old marketing director who transitioned into product management at a SaaS company. They break down how to assess transferable skills, reframe your resume to de-emphasize age, and leverage your network strategically. Lucas shares data on the average time it takes for mid-career professionals to land a role in a new field (18 to 24 months) and why a 'stepping-stone' job can be a smart move. Luna offers practical advice on how to handle the inevitable interview question about your career shift without sounding defensive. The episode includes a brief, unscripted-feeling mention of listener support and closes with a question about whether you should ever accept a demotion in a pivot. No fluff, no hot takes — just concrete, empathetic guidance for anyone considering a late-career change. #CareerPivot #MidCareerChange #JobSearch #ResumeTips #InterviewAdvice #MarketingToProduct #TransferableSkills #Networking #SteppingStoneJob #Demotion #FortiesCareer #CareerCoaching #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Careers #JobTransition #ProductManagement #LifelongLearning Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
