See discussions elsewhere about "overqualified". Many folks have trouble believing someone is really ready to do a deep reset after intensive specialization in another area. They worry that the work you can do at this s stage isn't worth what you think you should be getting paid and that they'll rapidly lose you if you ever come up short of cash, or that you may lose interest, or ... You may know you're making a serious long-term commitment to the new field, but they may have doubts and want to give the position to someone who they think is a better long-term investment.

Yes, this is possible. But it is also possible to simply change scientific interests in the process of work, the emergence of new ideas and hypotheses. It seems to me that this is a normal phenomenon in the career of a scientist.

This might be good advice, but it does not at all answer the question.
