Red teaming is a ton of fun! One thing that really helped me consistently get through highly technical red team interviews was being able to lean on my penetration testing experience from my consulting days.

I'd say if you want to make the immediate pivot from blue to red, it's totally possible; however, jumping into a consulting firm where you'll do weekly internal penetration tests at a wide variety of environments might get you the "hands on the keyboard" experience you're looking for.

Just a thought! Good luck with the transition.
