Anyone go from audit to financial planning/wealth management types of roles? I think I realized I’m more interested in helping individuals and personal finance than I am corporate finance/accounting. Would love to hear from those who’ve made a similar switch. Do you regret it? What do you like/not like about it?

Don't. It sounds interesting in theory but it's basically a sales job. Very low pay to start. Extremely cutthroat. You'll spend years making a fraction of what you make now as you try to scam friends and family into buying whole life insurance.

Curious if anyone else is or has been in the same boat. I started as an assistant at an entertainment law firm prior to passing the bar. Upon passing, the partner told me they would hire an assistant for me since I now became an associate. That was 1.5 years ago and I am still in the limbo of juggling my own workload + doing assistant roles for my supervisors. I have also had no increase in pay, which is a huge deal for me. Is this normal in the entertainment world? Any suggestions?
