I’m not a fan of headhunters, but has anyone heard of the BOSS group? Good, bad, ugly? They have a great sounding lead, but as it is with most headhunters, it’s usually bait to pull you in.

Any recruiting company that names itself Boss is most likely smoke and mirrors

Be careful. Most of them are so commission-hungry, they send you leads that end up being a colossal waste of time.

They are all the same. The Creative Group, Creative Circle, Boss, Paladin, Aquent. They take a 40% cut for freelance (but you get paid weekly) but if you are taking about a perm position, it's no different than working with any other headhunter

First of all, I love that this is a group. This is why I joined this app. Thank you. But I’d love advice on how/were to transition away from banking and finance.

I feel stuck and lost because I took a leap of faith to get into banking with no experience and now I have no relative experience in another field/industry to get me out.

Nothing.
