How do you sell yourself as a geology vet in a brand new discipline of data analytics? I am trying to see if I can change careers too but it seems like companies only want to hire people who has experience and get hit the ground running. That's especially true for IT disciplines as they are hiring for expert knowledge in a specific type of application/system.
Also it sounds like you are starting in a junior role, did you take a big haircut in terms of compensation?
