Looking for roles I can pivot to from my current career in financial middle office/financial ops -

What other jobs would these MO / ops skills be a good fit for?

5 weeks ago I told my boss we need to start working on a “we’re open again” spot. She basically called me blind for not seeing that the Covid crisis was nowhere near finished and then accused me of not having enough work to do. This morning at 6 am she texted me - “Need you to kick off a ‘we’re open again’ spot with the agency. Tell them they have 1.5 weeks to stand it up.”

A former colleague reached out and asked me to connect him with my account rep at Google and Twitter for a new professional venture, but he no longer works on the account in question. (I’m on a new account now.) How do I reject his request in an objective, appropriate manner? It feels unprofessional to refer someone totally OOS to reps I no longer work with.

Hello Fishes,

I am currently working in healthcare as a coordinator and pursuing mba full time in Canada - I’ll be graduating in September.. I wish to get into finance, specifically investment banking or asset management or fintech. I already hold ~4 years of experience from India.
I would appreciate any leads or referrals in such industries.
