Seeking career advice! I have a bachelors in accounting and masters in mgmt info systems. Worked in tech risk consulting/IT audit in PA for 2 years now and am hoping to leave in the spring. Has anyone pivoted into another area (HR, data analysis, etc.) that isn’t accounting related?

PA is too high pressure/stress for me personally and I’m interesting in something not accounting related.

A lot of people who pivot a lot of places. Network, network, network. If you think you want to get of Accounting, do it early in your career.

I would also recommend that instead of looking for a job with less pressure/stress, learn to deal with pressure/stress. All jobs are stressful. The sooner you learn to deal with it the better your life will be.

It means ICOs are no longer open to anyone. You have to be a certified investor with the SEC. This is why Filecoin is conducting their ICO with CoinList instead of on their own. CoinList ensures their ICO is only open to certified Wall Street investors and makes sure FileCoin's ICO is treated as a normal IPO.

Granted please correct me because IPO investing is something I don't know a ton about.
