How do I come back in HR after having 8 years of experience and a break of 5 years? Can I switch to some other field like Data Scientist, Business Analyst, Salesforce, SAP?

Before thinking of switching over to newer areas, are you qualified to take up such fields? Your 8 years of experience has not much relevance for these fields. Hopefully, you are in your late 30's or early 40's, hardly the age for switching careers as a beginner.
