I want to make the jump to fintech from retail lending. In my time at my job, I have done literally everything from taking payments, lending(direct and indirect), collections, audit preparation, compliance, customer service, marketing, month end and yearly reports, fraud investigation, court filings, remotely training a new staff, and much more. I am having a hard time translating my experience to what is listed in the job descriptions. Any advice on how to translate my experience?

Maybe look into something customer-facing? Most things that are internal require a level of tech knowledge.

That's a good start! I would take on some side projects or ways to apply your learnings more practically - it'll help during the interview process!

I’m at a major fintech - the transition should be somewhat painless. As the above poster mentioned, the best route to do so would be a customer facing position and internal transfer from there after job shadow and preferably a few company paid certifications if you’re interested in product management or a tech role. Good luck!
