How to Move into Deep Tech?

Question

I'm a backend engineer doing fairly standard CRUD development in Python, serving enterprisey customers.Imagine that I wanted to move into another area where I get to work with robots, biotech, space tech etc. on a regular basis.Can you give an example of how you would / did go about making this shift? Any common pitfalls? Should I just go for it?Thank you

The grass is greener on the other side... but I think a mix if both (CRUD + Deep Tech)is good for health! I have been doing deep tech (if you call kernel programing that..) for about 20 years and have recently moved to CRUD weby stuff and I feel the massive potential of it to impact business, start something of your own (SAAS) really heady.

Excellent question. I kinda faced this issue my whole life.Right now I'm pursuing a position in Big Tech where I at least hope to be doing more challenging / relevant work.
