If you decided to switch out of this industry, where would you go? I’m interested in trying something different and I’m wondering if there’s a certain area that would be easiest to switch into.

Honestly..I would switch to tech. But only because I think I could retire earlier lol. I'd love to go back to school for video game design.

I’ve heard that’s absolutely brutal, always under a tight deadline. Honestly I don’t know where I heard that but it’s burned in my brain. Is there any truth to that?

Also, yes, seems like it would be a cool career, we could all pull together and make Corporate Finance Simulator 2022, in it you would play a person who makes sure to get their work done on time and the level up reward will be learning new excel shortcuts.

Hi! I’m Head of Insights at an agency in London. I built a team of 4 and oversee and train junior and mid-level insights analysts.
