If you had the option would you stay in Finance? Or is there another career field calling you? Or would you simply want to pivot within Finance? ​​

I suppose I have the option, I'm not bound to the career. Though I feel like I'm locked in. There's no reason to believe I'd be able to make a decent living doing anything else.

I enjoy my work in the industry but I definitely wouldn't say I'm passionate about it. I'd love to work in a field that has a little bit more substance and meaning to it, like I'd love to work with animals. But it's hard to pivot to a new career and industry these days, so I feel a little bit stuck.

Personally I wouldn’t stay. If I could go back I’d choose something a bit more fulfilling, like working with animals etc.
I love my job now and the people I work with, but it’s solely because of who I work with

I love my job… honestly the best part is the relationships I’ve built with my clients and meeting new ones… the planning and strategy comes naturally to me… plus the money is great…
