It’s hard because vet tech work is very demanding. I worked wellness and emergency for around 5 years, and now I manage a roofing company. So I give kudos to both of you for staying committed for so long! ^. I had to leave due to getting hit in a bad car accident. I needed an office job due to the injuries at the time. It was a hard decision but I’m glad I changed career paths. Most people make 2 career changes in their lifetime! Do what makes you happy

I am currently a year from finishing my PhD and was looking at VC's as a career path because I like to do meta-analysis of different climate change techs. I networked with VCs and one of them was receptive but didn't have the budget currently for a full time hire. They said they'd be interested in working with me to do a research paper over the coming semester, and was wondering if I could leverage this into a full time offer?

Is a white paper with a VC going to be attractive on my CV?

Need career advice. Trying to break into a finance role, preferably an Analsyt role but I have no transferable experience. I worked as a mortgage loan officer (which is sales) for 2 years after college, but since mortgage is such a niche industry, no hard skills transfer and have no relevant undergrad internships unfortunately. I know I can essentially get any sales job I want in finance IE: financial advisor etc. but don’t want to be stuck in sales forever. Any advice?
