Hello folks – newbie here with a couple of questions for the Wisdom of the Crowd.

I am planning on pivoting my Graphic Design/Marketing career away from marketing and into 3D modeling/rendering. Specifically I'm targeting the high-end rendering space because of my fine arts background and extensive design experience.

I’m a rising sophomore studying finance at Indiana University. Im currently applying for investment management internships for the 2023 summer but I haven’t fully decided what path of investment management I want to pursue. My two interests are either Equity Research or Sales and Trading. If anyone is currently in an analyst role like this or has been in the past can you comment your experience with it and what overall made you decide this job was for you?

Just a generic timeline and additional required info. Don’t want to sign up yet if the exam dates are not flexible. Thank you.

Has anyone here considered leaving healthcare altogether? I am really drawn by a role in tech, but I know it's such a big leap. I have a friend who did this though, and she is making even more than I have made as a travel nurse. Is it an anomaly or a real possibility?

what is working at a crisis management firm like? broad question, i know, but i don’t know much about the field! (i currently work at an ad agency, but i’m considering a career pivot.)

First off - thanks for any help!

I feel like I have a lot of good accolades as far as awards, a graduate certificate program board I’m on, really good stats from my previous work, etc.

I have 7 years experience. Are people looking for someone w/ less experience/cheaper?
