Any thoughts on moving into tech from sell-side research? Have an MBA and currently work as a research associate but not enjoying this anymore…getting repetitive and cumbersome. Plus WLB doesn’t justify the pay. Have a few friends who have suggested partner development roles in tech and from what I’ve heard, those sound awesome (relationship management, some number crunching, product knowledge etc.). Anyone have thoughts on how to go about this? Or where to start even? In Canada but can go to US

Why not consider Product Management roles in tech instead?

I don’t even know where to start with that. Most I come across require tech/coding experience. Know anyone that’s made a similar transition?

Additional Posts in Finance Exit Opportunities

Dilemma… I left my old company 4 months ago. Today, they’ve reached out to me to ask me to come back at a higher role, Operations Manager. I would’ve jumped on this opportunity if they asked me before. However, this role would be hybrid (2x in office) and come along with more responsibilities and hours than my current WFH role which is very chill. The pay is only 15% more than I currently make. Any thoughts?
