I’m leaving PA, primarily due to the poor work-life balance and feeling that the amount of responsibility outweighs the pay. I double majored in undergrad in accounting and finance, I concentrated in accounting for my mba, I have my cpa license, and I’ve worked in PA for 1 year and 10 months. I really want to give the finance industry a try but when I look at financial analysts job postings, the minimum requirements say 3-5 years of experience. What type of “titles” should I look for in FL?

Good Luck on your job search! I’m leaving PA for the same exact reasons.

I would recommend keyword searches based on task or duties you would like to perform. Many companies will have different titles for more or less same job duties/description. You can also add keywords such as 'junior' , 'senior', etc
