Do you like what you are doing though? I have lots of friends in finance that make great money but never have time outside of work to spend it.
Yes, I love my current industry. It's dynamic and exciting. I can do whatever I want without having to go to an office. I've worked as a physician and a director before, but both were exhausting. My current focus is investment, which is fraught with uncertainty and risk, but the risks are proportional to the rewards.
I don’t make much money in finance !
If you like your job it’s worth more than money in my opinion
Yes, if you work in traditional finance, such as accounting or engineering, you probably won't make much money. Now, you can only make money by connecting with artificial intelligence or technology.
I don't make a ton of money in finance so it really depends on where you would have ended up. Life has so many twists and turns you can't really say for sure if you would've done better or not. Just try to make the most of your current situation, and switch if you think you'll enjoy it more.
✔Now is the time of rapid economic development. Either you can develop steadily in traditional industries, such as the construction and catering industries, or you can go into high-risk projects, such as stocks, funds, and cryptocurrencies. Of course, don't blindly pursue high returns and high profits. You must stay within your reasonable range.
It's never too late to make a change. I'd caution against it if you'd be doing so for the money alone, though. You'll be starting over in a new industry and it'll likely take years to make the salary you're targeting. And if you're passionate about what you're doing currently, toiling through those first couple years - and maybe for the rest of your career - will have you second-guessing your decision.
Thanks for your advice, stranger. My uncle, the CEO of a private equity firm on Wall Street, gave me the same advice, exactly as you did. He also advised me not to jump into a career I didn't understand. But I plunged into finance without hesitation. Perhaps more than a decade of mediocrity has weighed on me. Thank you anyway. I hope to have a cup of coffee or a glass of wine with you someday.
