I’m extremely burned out in the banking and finance industry. I’m 28, my degree is in Ag and I have military background. I’ve only ever worked as a banker in my adult professional years and I’m not sure how/where to transition.

I am being asked to move to Richmond, VA for Sr. Mgr. Supply Chain Analytics role in an organization that is dire need of help.

I am currently at 146k TC, they are offering 190k TC.

I originally wanted a director level role to set the strategy, process, and tools.

Instead I am just being asked to develop the tools.

My hypothesis is a clear lack of strategy and no accountability for process compliance will mean any tools developed will fail.

Would you take job in those circumstances?
