If I was going to be making a change, I'd aim for something dealing with sustainability and renewable energy. It seems that's where the future will be, so I would assume there's some job security in it. Plus, I personally think it's something worthwhile to be involved with. Not sure that qualifies as a new leg, but it would be new for me.

Then I was told to work directly with a client, it's been 2 months already we work late hours and also on weekend (asked by the client). It feels like my personal life is gone. Do you think I should change job?

I have over 12 years in B2B sales/sales management experience along with a graduate degree. I am wanting to shift gears and I am at a point where I can invest time in myself to learn through practical experience. The new industry I am wanting to pursue is real estate investment. I have read all the books but want some hands on experience on the property management side. How could I best leverage my skills for a role in this, and what should my expectations be for negotiation in compensation?

Can someone give me advice on how to frame/sell my skills in IT Audit/Internal Audit (Business Process) to get an assurance (FDD, Accounting Advisory, etc) role at another firm. Also open to working in Corp finance or something similar.

All thoughts and advice welcome. TYSM :)
