Yes, if you’re passionate about. And there’s certainly a decent demand for folks with b/g in finance and experience / interest in Climate.

What is the job, out of curiosity?

Hi, curious what you decided? My husband was doing middle office work for a bank and is trying to make the switch into esg consulting/sustainable finance but it’s proving challenging. Have you had any success?

Congratulations! Do you know if there are any other esg roles available that would look favourably towards back office/mid office experience ?

Hi! I have worked in management roles in tech, mainly in analytics, for approximately 10 years. My TC has fluctuated (currently around 135K CAD), but it seems like it's relatively easy to breach the 100K bar, but hard to breach the 150K bar. I now work at the CBC, but I have worked in the private sector too. What is the most realistic way to move to 200K? 1) Continue moving the ladder to a VP position, 2) Switch to Pre-Sale, 3) Switch to Consulting, 4) Work from a U.S. company from Canada.

So, I've realised there's a problem with developers, a lot of them are coders, not engineers. And another issue, is that, companies don't really care about their progression as far as I'm aware, so what did you guys do in your own time to transition from being a coder to an engineer?

Also, I prioritize work culture and exit opportunities over salary, but don’t want to be paid below poverty line.
