Not surprising in my opinion. Military teaches your great ethic add they tend to carry themselves well, exhibit a good presence and sometimes are more articulate.

You think they're in high demand in IBD, take a look at PWM, they could basically write their own offer letter there! You wouldn't see this in our parts of finance that are more "quant heavy" w/o appropriate background

I’m currently at a studio that has been good to me. They took a chance and allowed me to change career paths. They gave me numerous opportunities that lead me to now, being the head of a department.

Let's say I can't get a product or marketing job in tech, but I could get in via sales or customer success. Does working in those roles pigeonhole you, or is it easy to switch later?

Recently accepted a temp role as an HR admin for a former employer. Previously interned there & left because my supervisor did not have any growth opportunities planned out for me; this was in spite of my stellar performance, as reflected in my 90 day review. She has since left the company, but there’s crazy turnover in the company & in the HR department in particular. Just that an HR coordinator resigned. Is it worth going back into a dumpster fire w/ no leadership to gain experience?
