Yup! Agree with M1 ^ Just start applying to industry IA jobs that you're interested in - was in the same boat as you and hopped to industry a few months ago. The change was night and day for me, so far having an amazing experience. Feel free to DM if you have any questions or want to talk

Just apply to industry IA jobs! Getting recruited by your clients also can happen if you’re good and have good relations with them

Have you already figured out what you really want to do and if you are ready for the changes? I would advise that you take a break and contemplate on the type of career that you want yourself to get involved with for a long term.

Hello everyone! I am a Judicial Law Clerk, which I have been for a little over two years now. However, I’m planning on moving into the AML/Compliance realm. I have a background in finance, having been a Finance Disbursing Officer in the Army for 6 years with one deployment in that role. Additionally, I am currently a JAG attorney and studying for my CAMS, hoping to take that exam in the next month or two. Any advice or referrals for anyone I can talk to learn more about the field? Thanks! :)

After spending 4 years as a mid-level ops manager, I tried to break into HR through talent acquisition. Now after 6 years in TA, I've had a hard time getting out of it. My goal was always to get into a more broad HRBP position, but I've since worked for smaller orgs without a solid HR career path. When I ask about my career goals, they keep telling me, "Soon!" Or "Maybe in 6 months!"
