Have you ever noticed LinkedIn shows you WHERE people ended up, but never HOW they got there?

Like you see someone made the jump from finance to product management. Okay cool, but wouldn't it be really helpful to see what did they actually do between those two job titles? What specific skills did they learn? Was it a specific course/bootcamp they did that helped them? This would be so helpful for us career changers.

Have you found any resources useful for career guidance/exploration?

Usually people add their certifications or additional education on LinkedIn as a means to update their network on their career change and/or educate recruiters who may be able to help them.

You can also just try messaging the person to ask them. Most are willing to respond to a question or coffee invitation if the message is well written and thoughtful.

I'm trying to figure out how to pivot out of my current job. My department is in utter chaos, which has just become completely unmanageable.

I'm at a career juncture and have decided on a career in anti-money laundering as my new path. I'm also highly interested in additional education to further my career and am eyeing graduate school. Which is best? A law degree or a master's in international relations? Those are where my interests lie. I keep reading that JDs are valued in compliance but am wondering if a different graduate program is better for my goals. I already plan to obtain the CAMS certification. Thank you!
