Anyone work in the finance industry? Would love to hear how your career has progressed and where you've seen others go in their career paths within finance. I'm contemplating an offer to join an AM team as a data engineer but don't have any experience within finance. Is it easy to switch jobs within the broader finance industry (ex to a large bank)? Would appreciate any insight too

I work in Procurement. I started my career in this field in 2008 with Citigroup. I am currently working for a casino that doesn’t pay well. This morning, I received an email for a large banking company for a Procurement Lead position which I applied for making six figures. Happy birthday to me.

Congrats on that e-mail offer. Are you going to stay in procurement?

I'm a non-finance guy who did a tour on some finance projects. I struggled quite a bit but it seems if you have a finance background your can make a good living in that world.

For those of you in healthcare related account management, what is your healthcare background? I am clinical and getting ready to hire a higher level account manager.

I don’t want to miss the right person because of my bias, so im wondering how many healthcare related AMs have healthcare/clinical experience… thanks in advance!
