I am 30 and considering it - been in commercial real estate my whole career, considering other areas of the industry or a more traditional finance role. What has been somewhat successful for me is being extremely selective on specific roles (has to have responsibilities that are somewhat transferable or things I’m naturally good at) and firms that have a reputation for hiring outside the industry.

If you want to do a bigger pivot than that, I recommend considering professional certifications that could signal serious interest in switching or grad school.

I used an MBA to pivot from tax compliance to strategy consulting. I think the MBA def gave me credibility but already having a business background helped (I studied accounting in undergrad). Was 30 going on 31 when I started in consulting.

Hi Group, seems like it should be basic format, but I just can not get it to work. a list of data and want to alternate shade (blue,white,blue,etc) each line but if I have multiple lines I want to group together and they all shade the same. I want to group by the same data in column A, and the number of rows that are the same could vary. So let’s say row 1& 2 same entry in column A(blue) row 3 different (white) row 4,5,6 same as each other different to other rows (blue) etc… help 🙏
