I really want some clear cut long term career goals and ambitions. But working in risk and reg I haven’t found anything yet that really grasps my desire. But my seniors keep asking me where I want to go but in all honesty I just keep bouncing from one project to another trying to do a good job. Does anyone have any ideas how I can find my future career path?

What I see in terms of career paths is that there’s the two main ones of joining the client in a risk and reg capacity or pursuing a career in a consulting. Maybe another less thought of option would be joining a regulatory body. I’ve been thinking about this recently too since the ceiling seems to usually be quite low at a banks and asset managers for risk and regulation related roles and aiming for partner is quite the commitment. Especially at my firm & region one also does audit work, which I find draining. I’m thinking of trying to go for a MBB Finance & Risk role to try and get more meaningful work. One priority for me is also being able to go abroad for a while which is a major factor influencing 3-5 year outlook since it would be best to stay with a global firm for that. Maybe that’s one aspect to consider
