Step 1 - Cleanse you resume and online profile of any references to "Risk"

Talk to your marketing friends and make sure you fully understand what you do. Most marketing work is fairly analytical, and assuming your risk background has given you strength in that area, I think that’s your best angle

I’d focus on learning skills that are applicable to the industry and highlighting it on your resume. Also do what D1 said. I’ve seen people go from “risk” roles into really cool things. Just gotta know how to frame your story. Fake it till you make it even if you have no experience

Similar situation. I’m just worried about interviews, tailoring resume is easy but what do you do in interviews when you have to give specific examples

Hey everyone! I am a CPA, started at PwC, now the assistant controller at a small/medium sized Ag company. Thus far, the plan has been to follow the CFO path. But recently I have been longing for more social/client facing interactions. I am very extroverted. I love meeting and connecting with new people and would like to incorporate that into my career. Any thoughts on possible career paths that would combine my experience in accounting with a more socially fulfilling job?

Thanks I’m advance!

Ex-consultant now in marketing. Used to be an avid follower here and got great insights on companies when trying to exit consulting so thought I’d try here for advice. Outside of FAANG, what are good large CA-based tech companies that provide good pay, WLB, and culture? DD has great people and WLB, but pay is low and you’re not given the tools and resources to succeed + truly make an impact. Google and Apple are ideal but need backups. Like is Salesforce still good? A company along those lines.

Has anyone considered opening a franchise? I would love to transition from law to business but have zero experience and am thinking a franchise may be the best option. I wouldn’t have as much control but it would provide a business plan and how to to get out there and get started. Curious if anyone else has considered. I doubt I’ll do it this year during the pandemic but want to start exploring this as an option.
