Hi! Thinking of making a career change coming from Finance. I have been looking at supply chain jobs and maybe I am wrong and please tell me if I am. But the good paying roles are most of the time management positions etc. Is it possible to get a job within supply chain making 60-70k without having to get into a supervisor or manager role? I am currently making 70k in finance, but I hate the restrictions of not trading stocks whenever I want to. Located in Pennsylvania if that matters. Thanks!

Yes. Pretty easily. Supply chain analyst positions should pay that.

No problem.

You could stay in Finance but shift to a supply chain Financial analyst- role when I did this and didn’t supervise/manage anyone I was making $85-100k before bonus. Even if you get into Project Management in Supply Chain definitely 100k+ jobs. Having a finance background opens so many doors.

I guess I don’t know how much experience you have or where you live- but I don’t live in a major metropolitan area just a normal city. I had maybe 5 years experience when I made this move. Just my opinion and experience!

Hey thank you for your feedback. I really appreciate that I am going to look into that type of roles.

I'm curious why you would want to switch from finance to supply chain. Finance has much more opportunity for growth and salary

Because the thing that I really love about finance is being able to trade the stock market. Unfortunately, working within finance comes with a lot of restrictions that I cannot just simply buy and sell stocks when I want to because my account is monitored by the compliance team. So, if I can make a decent salary outside of finance and trade the market I am happy as a kid.
