Anyone get the itch to jump to an operations role? I’m getting a bit tired of the financial reporting life. I want to do something I’m proud of. Something I can own, be creative, and improve. Does FP&A opex side work give you this satisfaction?

If you are feeling that way then you should start moving on it. Never going to be happy prolonging the decision

I’m in operations and I love it so far. It’s similar to client service where no two days are the same. It’s project based, heavy analysis and requires being strategic in your thinking. I hated the monotony of industry.

So I had been working as medical interpreter up to the early part of this year. Today, during an interview, the Director with whom I was interviewing genuinely urged me to consider pursuing a career as a PA or even attempt to go to medical school. I had considered it in passing before but today was about the third or fourth time that someone had earnestly nudged me in that direction. Has anyone here made such a career pivot before? I love working in healthcare, there’s nothing like it.

What’s going on FB friends,

The potential comp is the low 200k with a 10% bonus (still higher than what I am making). I feel this is pretty low for VC standards but maybe my standards are also too high. I have generally seen 25% bonus with carry.

Any thoughts?
