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

Hello! I’m currently a Administrative assistant now working at a major medical system in Baltimore.

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?
