I fairly strongly suggest that if you are planning to change careers you actually discuss the possibilities with other members of the LW community. Maybe make a post describing your situation and desires and requesting advice.
Thanks, I definitely will do so by the end of the year. I still have some evaluation of goals to do (by experiment right now—doing a couple of small projects, logging my attitude on the work and progress over the course of each). This is almost certainly a community which would act as a good CEV dynamic for me.

Would this kind of request be appropriate for a top level post, or in the open thread? I’ve been considering making such a post for a while now.
It depends how in depth you want to be. I’ve made such a top level post myself and found it useful.
I’d say it depends on how valuable you expect the post to be for other people to read.
I’m probably going to post in an open thread when I do so, but if I’m uncertain, I may message a couple of people to see what they think.
