I'm applying/attending job interviews for financial analyst type roles in industry from Big4.

I don't really have an industry that I'm really passionate about. I'm paranoid that I'll exit and get stuck in a specific industry. Did any of you have issues moving between industries? How did you manage to be competitive or overcome that issue when changing industries?

Thanks!

Would love to get your opinion on this-
I am planning on applying to business school this year in round 1 and round 2. I am in india working at D.

The role is definitely a step up in terms of responsibilities from my current role as a senior consultant. Do you think it might hamper my business school application changing jobs so close to round 1? Have been at D for 4 yrs
