Career change

greenspun.com : LUSENET : What keeps you up at night? : One Thread

I'm interested in making a career change, but I'm not sure how my skills will apply in other industries. Anyone have any suggestions from personal experience or good articles/books on how to make a career change?

Currently, I'm an account director at an advertising agency (5 yrs. experience). My job covers broad areas (marketing consultant, project manager, salesman, inspirational team leader). I'm interested in technology companies (not necessarily a marketing position) and V.C.

thanks for your help.
