Hi, wanted some career advice. Currently working in complex securities valuation, but very familiar with traditional valuation methods and financial statement analysis. Long term goal is to move into sports and/or entertainment industry in a finance role (valuation or strategic). How should I go about doing so? Do I need an MBA? Are there specific firms who focus more on these industries? How easy will it be to enter these teams considering I have no sports and entertainment specific experience?

To be honest that is very specific. Sports and entertainment do not have many valuation or complex securities type work. It would probably be easiest to leave for a financial reporting/accounting or fp&a role in sports and entertainment.

If you are looking for something more strategic/corp dev then best bet is MBA or jump to investment banking for a little bit.

I have friends from audit who ended up at NBA for financial analyst roles (pay is not the best).

I am seeking new employment, I was recently laid off due to lack of work. I would very much appreciate any leads. I have a Bs in Construction Management and over 15 years experience with Revit and AutoCAD and 7 years of plumbing design. I have solid references and impeccable work ethic. I truly enjoy what I do. Working remotely the last three years has become a way of my life and supports our current situation well, therefore I am seeking a similar role but will consider other opportunities.

Thoughts?

I have become hooked on finding a job that involves solving the kinds of problems they presented during their interviews. Although I got to the final round my performance anxiety got the better of me (I think I wanted the job a bit too much...). I will reapply after working in a similar company.

Is it "deep tech" / "data science" or "smart enterprise" that they're doing? Any advice welcome.
