Peoples who’s first job out of college was a total dud. IE super niche, low transferable skills how did it end up for you? Currently in a fairly niche B4 role (IT Audit) where the only exit is more of this work or maybe cyber which im not interested in. Im applying to a bunch of data analytics positions trying to restart, even though they would be a hit to “brand value”, I think I could learn what I need to pivot to a data engineering role/find something that is more technical/job isn’t for me.

Lol are they still playing that trick? (Convincing unsuspecting college grads that IT Audit is “consulting” by being tricky with the role name?

I was told I would be doing data analytics and programming work related to risk/cyber security (what I studied in college)

Went to business school and got something more generalist

I moved on fast (< 1 year) at a point in time when I was both junior enough to do a 180° pivot including starting at grad level but had spent enough time to achieve a thing or two and learn about the workplace.

I had a degree from a top target. I applied selectively (no deadline) but tirelessly for several months and I prepped extremely hard for my interviews (I got an offer more often than not).

I joined a tech company (old af) that was building their cloud consultancy. Well I joined right when they changed management so it was super disorganized and no real plan in place for the new hires. I left after 7 months of no work. Got into data analytics thru my network. That was like 5 or 6 years ago. I’ve made several jumps, both internally and externally, did my MBA and now I’m here
