In an attempt to move from Tax to FO high finance, which would be the path of least resistance - 1. Move directly to Middle office at a bank/PE firm or 2. Transfer into deals/FDD and move from there?

In this market both will be very tough. Best bet at finance is an MBA to IB. FDD is slow right now and banks aren’t hiring

Has anyone left healthcare and is now really happy? I’m an MSN, RN with 12 years hospital experience. I’m burned out and tired of making crap pay.

It’s a total shift that would really heal my work-life balance, job satisfaction and budget. My only fear is that I would not be using the license and degree that I worked so hard for. I would appreciate any input!!!!
