Hey, a Private Banking analyst with 0.5YOE here and I'm starting to realize it's not the role for me. I'm really interested in FinTech roles, but wondering how I can pivot to Fintech roles that typically require 1+ year of experience in IB, consulting, or SWE? Would love to connect with people in this industry to learn more about their roles!

Currently a paralegal at a small start up financial services company been there for just a little over a year. I wear “multiple hats” but more recently I’ve done a lot of PM work and some BA work. My position title is changing soon but I’m wondering how helpful that would be for wanting to go into PM work at a tech company. Anyone have any career pivot advice? (Also I’m only 1.5yrs old in my career so I’m definitely still new, and I have previous experience as a project assistant).

Those of you that have successfully pivoted: What did you do, what are you doing now, and how are you enjoying your new role?

Any insights you can share based on your experience?

I’m an Environmental Protection Specialist and make pretty good money for what I do. I just feel like I have more to offer than being a worker bee in a system at 25.

Any suggestions that won’t require me taking a crazy pay cut? I’m pretty much open to anything.
