My name is Rob and I am a 2021 Fordham Law Evening graduate, admitted in NY - reaching out to all of you for guidance and networking. I am experienced in Regulatory Compliance, Privacy/Cyber, and Financial Services. While working full-time in a senior-level role through law school, I didn’t have the opportunity to accept a summer associate position - I welcomed a new baby into my life. Recently, I experienced a corporate restructure and will do whatever it takes to land my first law firm job.

I am looking to make a career change to HR. I currently make 75K as a sales and development coach. I had a recent offer for a state government position in a talent acquisition role but I’d be taking a $25K pay cut. I am extremely over qualified for the position but it could possibly be a stepping stone and gives me the time to acquire SHRM certifications and possibly start taking classes to get my MBA. My question is those currently in an HR role, would this move make sense to you?

Hi,
Wondering to get some advice on how hard it would be or get an understanding of the market to get back into private accounting/advisory or financial analyst after stepping away for 2.5 years.
