Help on how to present myself

I recently received a scholarship and finished a program for VC Finance. I am currently not in a banking/investment field and recently graduated. I have my undergrad degree in Econ. My peers in the program are all individuals (for the most) who have the MBAs/PHD and are already working in that world. I lack the experience, and would like to make the switch over but I know it is a highly competitive field. Any tips on how to deal with this?

Hi,

Is it fine to call a HR if he's not answering. I have my HR discussions pending.

I called him once a day (twice on 2nd day with a gap of 4-5hrs in between)
for two days straight and third day he picked my call for scheduling the final interview.

It's been a week & he told I would receive a call from his team before today, but didn't receive.

Can I call him to remind or just keep on waiting till I receive a call from them.

Getting a reply for mail is highly unlikely. Please suggest

I’m currently a tax accountant with 5 YOE. I want to move into a business analyst role I’ve applied for entry level positions (competition is wild) and willing to get certs. I have great hard and soft skills that should transfer pretty well. Any advice on getting the ball rolling? Should I get a mentor? I’ve seen a lot of layoffs too which kind of makes me wonder if it’s worth it.

Is it dumb to quit your not-so-great paying and toxic full-time job to work one maybe two part-time jobs just to get out of your current situation? I have a college degree and a lot of editing, writing, and customer service experience, so I want to get another full time soon, but I just really hate my current job and am thinking of doing something simple, like being a barista again. At least for the time-being. Is this smart/not smart?

So I had a first interview this past Friday at a company that I had previously interviewed with and made it to the final round last month. They decided to go with an internal candidate after it came down to me and him. The current role is more senior, and was one I was asked to apply for by the hiring manager, whom I also met with during the last set of interviews. I emailed the recruiter to f/u on Friday and still have not gotten a reply. Should I be concerned?
