Great that you’re able to take a chance to make that change! Marketing may seem like a stretch given your finance experience but maybe your past experience can get your foot in the door. But I would first test the waters and try getting interviews/a job first and then worry about relocation later.
Unless you want to just move and see how it turns out. If that’s the case, did you budget for LA rental/VHCOL? Depending on where you want to live, rent can vary quite a bit. We’re talking $2500-3500 to live in the more fun parts of LA.
Without knowing your resume, hard to tell. And doesn’t really matter…nearly everyone is having a much harder time landing gigs vs 2 years ago.
Only way to know is to start applying. It’s been a humbling experience for many in this job market. Not to scare you away but things are very different in the past year.
We’re full; go somewhere else… lol. No, but seriously, it’s a bit backwards to switch from tax/finance to marketing. The skill sets and experience aren’t really all that transferable either. You’d likely need to put in more than two years as you could likely be looking at a pay cut and starting over.
