I graduate from college last May and have been working at my consulting job since September. I’ve been thinking of pivoting my career into Sustainability Investing/VC work. Has anyone done this? What experiences did you have or was a big change? Any advice? The transition would be after working for about 2 years unless others recommend working longer/shorter.

Without knowing your past experience and education; I would say it’s going to be a growing career path. I would say depending on your education it’s wort to shift especially if you are into the field. With the new regulations and development, it offers a great growth opportunity, ability to shape the conversation and lead.
