Career change in 30s

In my early 30s, 8 years of working experience, currently Manager level, mainly have experience in risk and controls (i.e. a mix bag of audit, risk management, compliance and governance). However it is not a job i enjoy doing.

I have always found HR intriguing and I think i would enjoy the people centric side of things. But i don’t see how its possible to even consider transitioning to that role when i have zero experience in HR and plus being at a Manager level feels harder to switch to a new role while still retaining that rank.

Am curious to know what are other people’s perspective of this or if you have gone through a career change as well - how did you do it, how did it pan out for you, etc.
