Yeah. Once you have a tech name on your resume it’s much easier to bounce around

So I had been working as medical interpreter up to the early part of this year. Today, during an interview, the Director with whom I was interviewing genuinely urged me to consider pursuing a career as a PA or even attempt to go to medical school. I had considered it in passing before but today was about the third or fourth time that someone had earnestly nudged me in that direction. Has anyone here made such a career pivot before? I love working in healthcare, there’s nothing like it.

Hi there all!

I am currently in a support role as an engineer and have recently been considering a career change. My background is primarily in tech/IT, however my biggest love is people. I feel that something out of the tech industry and something more people focused would be better for me. I’ve considered tech sales, but don’t know too much about it. I feel something within the HR industry could be good fit. Just something I’ve been considering lately and am wondering how to progress.

Is CPA crucial to break into banking?

I am going to work as Audit Associate at KPMG in 2023. I am thinking to stay there for more than a year, then make an attempt into banking. I really hate the CPA exams for its soul-crushing elements. I am rather planning to break into the top MBA programs at the time. I have financial resources to do so but I feel quite mixed after getting the Macc for KPMG position without pursuing the CPA.

There’s a seriously lack of role clarity; I’m consistently being tasked to do things that outside of my immediate skill set/job description.

Let me be clear; I have no problem with this, however when the pay doesn’t match…This leaves me feeling burned out most days.
