Abstract
This paper provides some tips to help guide you in making a midcareer jump: 1) take initiative - tackle any available projects at your company related to the areas you´re interested in moving, 2) know thyself - know what kind of personality do you have, and 3) have a plan B - develop a backup plan so that if you don´t like your career move, you can make another transition. The idea is to have a goal but to have an open mind about the variety of settings that can accommodate your skills and personality.
