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.

I'm SVP/strategy for a PR agency. I moved into PR, Healthcare, and Strategic Planning only 3 years ago. An agency recruiter is trying to convince me to move into a GSVP account role, assuring me "at that level it's all strategy." (I dont think she understands the words she's using. Or that I'm qualified). But long-term, knowing account roles are so much more plentiful than brand planning in PR, I'm wondering if I should start thinking about account. Anyone here moved from strategy to account?
