I am currently in the market for a new job. I would like to transition into a finance role but most require 3+ years of finance, sql, report creating which is experience I don’t really have. On a daily basis I am reviewing dozens of different company financials, import activity, and determining risk for customs bonds. Any ideas on what roles that I can develop better skills in that are closer to finance?
I am staying away from jobs in the insurance, mortgage, and banking industry.

You can enter analyst roles for career path towards finance industry. You can also try brokerage or consultancy. I started as an analyst before I was able to break into finance.

I feel like this is kinda narrowing it down off those three...but yeah, definitely stay away from mortgages at the moment. I think Ops is a pretty solid fit

Hi..
I Appeared for an interview for RPA - Automation Anywhere. I didn't got any response after the interview. Then when I reached hiring manager through LinkedIn I got to know I cleared all the rounds but my expected cts is high so they might have rejected. First thing is I never said what I am expecting . And I clearly told In managerial round that I am open for salary discussion.

But no one responded. Will I get the call back in time? Or I just leave it and go ahead with other companies?

Made a career pivot to another agency. During the interview we talked about how it may start as initially a "step backwards" (pay/benefits) but has potential for more long term growth. First day was yesterday. Had no communication about when or where to show up, sat in an empty office for about half an hour before a couple people finally showed. No phone call or email. Sent an email to the founder, no response. I could easily get my old job back if wanted.

What would you do in this situation?

Hello, after doing some research I believe I’m being underpaid. About 4 months ago HR did a market analysis for my role. They bumped my salary for about $2k.

I’m currently making $61,000 with bonus included. Based on my research I should at least be making $71,400. I have a check in with my boss tomorrow and I am asking for a raise.

Hi! I’ve been approached by Securonix for a Sales Director role in NA. I know the field and their competitors.

Mostly referring to toxic culture and zero work life balance. How true is this in this sales org and the company in general? This is a backfill role after a 3 year tenure for the person who left.

How detailed should it be? I assume I won't know what goals to set till I start...
