Hey Fish, I have almost 2 YOE in supply chain and honestly don’t feel like I can be in this field forever. Has anyone been successful in a career switch? I am interested in real estate but I feel like that ship has sailed. Any tips or pointers I should look out for?

Interviewing soon with EY for a senior role (TD FSO).
