Hi All! I'm requesting career advice and referrals . My background includes an MBA, an engineering degree, and a diploma in financial mathematics.

I'm aiming to enter the investment management industry. What roles can lead to asset management? Are positions like Trading Analyst, Investment Operations Associate, or Private Wealth Management suitable?

Thanks

Bored to death in internal audit/SOX. What’s a good career change that would utilize my transferable skills? Work in financial services.

I am interested in moving from a corporate law practice to Family Law. I would welcome some advice on how to make that happen.

Anyone know any good exit opportunities/career changes? This is my first job in internal audit and I’m not sure if I want to be pigeon holed into this.

Has any one changed career path from Media Planning (agency) to Marketing procurement (client)? I’d appreciate advise on transitioning? If Worth it? Also how is Stability, perks and growth?

Thinking about moving into FP&A. Do I jump ship as a staff 2 (I’m in risk) or wait to be promoted?

I should have switched to “creative” or a copywriter when I had the chance.

I have 4.5 yrs of work ex and joining as ACON at KPMG. Will I get promoted to CON in next cycle i.e October 2023 or so I have to wait until October 2024?

What do exit opps look like for a role in M&A Strategy that focuses primarily on CDD and ODD? Combination of PE and strategic buyer clients, although leaning with heading down more the PE route while I’m here.

I am 23 YO, just graduated undergrad from a non-target school, and am currently working in tech consulting for a B4 firm. My long term goal is to land a technology operations job with a large PE fund.

What steps should I be taking now to make this goal more feasible? What types of exposure should I be looking to gain?

Also, I wouldn’t mind going back to b school if that’s what it will take to get in the door.

Thanks in advance!
