Switching from tester to developer. I was a tester at Microsoft when they laid off most of the test team and converted them to data scientists. I was lucky enough not to be laid off, so I had the option of staying as a data scientist, but I also got lucky that my sister dev team wanted me, so I switched. What I'm doing now is exactly what I want to be doing, and I have a great career path open to me.
