Any recommendations on types of tech jobs for someone with a finance background? (3yrs experience) I have been hearing a lot about how great the compensation, WLB, and benefits are. I am based in Los Angeles and would like to branch out to different industries.

I’m a financial systems developer. Only 2.5 years experience and already becoming very valuable and knowledgeable. You’d need to learn coding skills but it’s definitely a good career path if you think you’d enjoy building financial models

Nice! Sounds like you’ve got a great path ahead of you. Definitely got me considering learning more about coding. Thank you for sharing! Best of luck.

Not sure if you’re specifically interested in learning a different skillset or just the overall tech culture, but if you have a finance background you can easily join a tech company’s corporate FP&A team. I have 5 YOE in finance and work for a tech startup doing strategic finance. So my core job function is still finance but the company itself is tech and comes with all the industry benefits

I’m looking for a similar switch, I have some coding knowledge and I’m considering going full software developer and trying to leverage my recent grad (with a minor in comp sci) to get an entry level position. There’s a lot of great resources online like leetcode that helps you get ready for technical interviews and to learn coding if you want to go all in

Product owner seems like a path I have seen a couple people take in similar situation.

I’ve found that a lot of my finance background aligns with that of a data analyst so that’s where I’ve started working to build skills on data camp, eventually I’d like to push a litter further to get to data scientist

I am currently a practice manager for a large practice that is in 3 states with over 300 locations. When I was promoted 3 years ago it was to take the place of the DOO that resigned, who was making 6 figures, and doing a quarter of the work that I do. They have me at $63,000 salary, but I work 60-70 hours a week due to the work load. Now they hired a new marketing employee, that was started at double my salary, and I feel very offended by this. What’s the best way to address this with HR?

Just a vent and observation. Not all of law is like this, but law is so full of upperclass white people who are so out of touch with the realities of living in poverty it makes me disgusted to the point I wish I never pursued it. Many of the users here remind me of those memes about “make coffee from home and you’ll be rich” or “McDonalds budget sheet with no heating and $20 health insurance.” It’s so discouraging. Anyone feel the same? How do you get by without losing your mind?

Hi Everyone,

I am done with technical interview last week Friday on DevOps but still I haven't received any call.

I sent two emails to the team who scheduled this interview but no response yet and also called one HR who scheduled this interview, she said they just scheduled the interview they don't have any idea about feedback.

Can you guys please let me know whether cognizant informs candidate about feedback or not ?
