Hello. Been in banking about 8y.Just completed MBA. Want to transition out of banking but it seems hard. Making about 55k a year after bonuses and considering I now have my MBA I’m looking for something a little more to move on. My goal is about 70k considering I have 8 years of experience an an mba is this unreasonable? This search seems IMPOSSIBLE I’m open to other types of roles don’t have a particular role or career in mind. Any suggestions that will allow me to transition out of Banking.

Where is the MBA from? That will drive a lot of your next steps

like

Cleveland State University. Reputable university.

You may have gotten the degree while working there, but it sounds as if the career center at that college severely failed you, cause they should’ve put you in line for programs that would’ve given you the opportunity to get into job sites and interview interviews. Now that you’ve already graduated with the MBA year, unfortunately sitting on the outside.

Truth be told you need to go and connect with that career center and ask him to get you at a different programs or hiring slates.

Also, is Goldman Sachs says if it was reputable, you would already have a job

55k is definitely pretty low, depending on where you're living. I will say, though, that the search is tough right now because of the job market. Have you considered possibly relocating if you're not able to find anything in your area?

What are you trying to do?
