In a light aircraft if taking off behind a jet transport at a large airport it's no problem to get airborne well before the point that the jet did, and then turn left or right immediately climbing out at close to 90 degrees to the runway heading (with ATC permission of course).

We used to do this, and ATC appreciated it as it helped keep up the flow rate.
