Hi everyone, new to the bowl here! Anybody have good experience jumping into the tech industry side as an analyst? I’m frequently getting told I have a profile that is too Senior for the Sr. Fin. Analyst roles to which I’ve been applying. I’m currently in higher Ed and could be doing the same work, with much better work culture, environment, and salary elsewhere. I’ve seen all of those in really exciting tech companies, but it appears they want a Sr. analyst that isn’t so Sr. 😂. Thnx!

Thanks! I’ve probably applied to 25 - 30 roles over the course of the last 6 months. I’ve only had about 3 follow ups, all which have said that I’m over qualified in one way or another. In all honesty, I haven’t been aggressively pursuing or following up because I’m happily employed, just know I could be making nearly double my current pay with better perks and culture.

I might get a recruiter and go that route. I see a lot of people asking for referrals on here. Is that successful for anyone?

Thanks!

FYI, I’m only 40, not like I’m nearing retirement here folks.

I’m currently in the process of being converted from contractor to permanent.
