Have you worked with inventory, payroll, a/r, a/p, etc etc? Unless you are considering a career pivot, you are already pigeon holed. That being said, lots of good paying jobs that are fund related.
Find a career you think is best for you and go with that. If you enjoy accounting try industry. If you hate accounting, switch out of it. It’s never too late. I got my dream job and I had one year audit experience in financial services. Make it happen.
OP is asking about fund accounting specifically
What was your dream job?
Totally doable if you are persistent. Apply like. NOW while the market is still going
I’ll continue to pigeon hole my self. Thoughts? Anyone here enjoy working as a fund accountant?
Fund accounting is a dead end job. If you’re miserable with FSO audit, try to pivot to advisory internally or externally. I’ve never met one person who didn’t regret taking a fund accountant role. Once you take it, there is little you can move onto from it
I'd try to use the big 4 name to get you into an analyst position. Maybe make a lateral move pay wise to get into a new type of work
Very stable job though?
I did fso at a big 4 for 2 busy seasons Pivoted into a tech startup as a senior accountant. It is doable if you dont want to stay in fund accounting 🤔
