Is it too late to change in my late 30s? I worked in finance for 2-3 years a decade ago before pivoting to entertainment. Now want to change back (portfolio management or IB) and am enrolled on CFA 1. Anyone had a similar pivot or thoughts on breaking back into finance?

Hello there! I currently work in billing at a medical office. I got my Bachelors in Psychology a few years ago but I couldn’t find a position that seemed like a good option for me that was well paying and fulfilling. I tried working as a tech at an Applied Behavior Analysis clinic but it wasn’t a good fit. I’m hesitant to try case management or social work because I worry I won’t like it but I want to use my degree in Psychology. Does anyone have any ideas for me?

Moving on from Hotels (Hospitality)?

I’ve been thinking about this for awhile now, but it is very to commit to actually accept a new job offer since I really do love my job. My only complaint is, the pay vs workload is very small. I’m a manager now and my property offered me a director position… but the salary is still low! To make six figures, it’ll take another 5-6 years to grind it out.

Should I move on and go to a different industry? Opinions are welcome! Thanks in advance.

I'm having a hard time discerning what is better in the long run for compensation.

Front office investment banking (where salary comp is lower for x amount of time but could balloon to the highest at time y)
Analytics or Cloud (where comp is higher or equal for x period and is potentially easier to stay in past time y)
Strategy (or other highly paid) consulting (where I can't really discern it from IB other than from a skills/subject matter perspective)

Could someone please share an opinion?

1) does MBA actually improve someone's chance in getting those roles?
2) are there any good Canadian MBA programs you'd recommend?

Thank you all!
