I’m currently working for the NHS, and I’m feeling a bit burnt out.
Thinking of switching to finance, but not sure what area is best to start off?! Any advice would be welcome please !

Honestly, AI and offshore are taking over back office finance jobs. I recommend looking at customer facing positions.

I would never want to go in a customer facing position ever lol. Worked enough with people / public and I’m so fed up with rude people 24/7

Good luck

Thank you!

Finance is a pretty broad field, so you might spend some time brainstorming about what kind of work you'd like to see yourself doing. And what kind of work might mesh with your experience and education. Perhaps you could get a job at a bank, as being in the business might give you an opportunity to learn about various roles.

Yeah I’m thinking of joining some networking groups and trying to pick some peoples brains :) But yes a bank sounds a really great opportunity

I think it'll ultimately depend on what kind of work you want to do. Do you prefer working with people or numbers? Are you analytical or more sentimental? It might require going back to school, I'll just warn you in advance.

I prefer working with numbers than people for sure!
So I actually am qualified in accounts from uni already, but just went down a different route !

Interviewed with Chicago court 2 weeks ago; they decide mid-August. Interviewed with DC judge last week; hear from him by this Friday. Chicago said if I need an answer before August, they'd try to make a decision about me sooner.
Should I ask Chicago for an answer? Or should I wait until there's an offer from DC judge? Maybe seems better to withdraw before an offer is made rather than ask for time to think about it/turn down DC? What's proper etiquette?

Is there such things as FP&A positions in Big 4? If so, are there better times to make the change than others (I.e. at senior vs manager)? I’m currently in FP&A and looking to work at a Big 4, or another company that offers the ability to move abroad. My current company and many others I know about do not offer the mobility to do so until much later, which is not what I want. Thank you.
