I’m exploring a move from entrepreneurship back into the workforce and would value some perspective. Pre-entrepreneurship, my background was in logistics and supply chain. I later built and scaled service businesses with full ownership of operations, pricing, cash flow, and delivery. I have a strong interest in finance, especially IPOs, earnings, and med-tech. Hybrid or remote preferred as I am a single full-time dad.

I did it after 13 years outside of Corporate Finance. It’s been brutal, new systems and tech (didn’t even have teams or zoom when I left) and just the grind of going into an office and routine. I came Back because my business faltered after Covid and I needed to replenish cash (saved 75% of my paycheck the last 3 years) and fortunately due to a compounded annual return of 54% the last 3 years I’m ready to retire.

I strongly recommend against though. I’ve been miserable these last 3 years.

It's not a great time to be looking for a job, so you need to pull out all the stops. Write up a strong resume, and put a lot of effort into networking. In a job market like this, the more contacts you have the wider a net you'll be able to cast. Talk to your business associates from over the years and let them know what you're looking for. Someone may steer you to an associate of theirs who may have a lead on an opening. That friend of a friend factor can really maximize your networking.

Remote jobs and even hybrid jobs can be hard to find right now. I would definitely suggest networking and trying to get referrals. That may help you be able to make that transition easier.

I don’t agree that now is a bad time to job hunt. It’s actually a solid time—budgets reset, bonuses get paid, and people move on after year-end. The biggest thing is your resume. Companies don’t hire based on interests or buzzwords; they hire based on what you’ve actually done. That needs to be clear, whether it’s from past roles or what you did during your “entrepreneurial” stint. Hybrid work, especially in finance, is more of a perk now, not the norm, so you need to be realistic about your local market and which companies actually have a presence. Start by polishing the resume, research the local players, and apply directly on company websites. You’ll find something… good luck !

Looking for jobs in this economy is not easy. I don’t think you should quit entrepreneurship cause although it’s a lot of work it can be very beneficial in the long run. I work in a HR firm and we always have companies that have opening in multiple industries although I’m not sure if any are hybrid. You can message me for info.

Okay feel free to message me on this app for links to jobs you can apply to. Or for more advice.
