You may like food, but I doubt you will be thinking "yay food" when your boss is yelling at you about weak mustard sales last quarter. Focus on the type of work and working conditions (culture, wlb, etc) you want and then think about exact industry.

Sorry I don’t have a clear job suggestion, but it seems like 2 of those topics (food, music, exercise) could be combined? Maybe looking for intersections of the things you like narrows down your search a bit?

This is a good suggestion, thanks!

Use LEK for a PE exit. Make enough to retire early. Take up culinary arts, music, trainer/fitness influencer.

OP sacrifice your body in PE for 2-4 years, you”ll easily able to become a private investor as long as you keep your expenses low

Right there with you

A good friend of mine graduated from Parsons this past summer, has degrees in Journalism and French, is a talented photographer and designer (which I feel I have a pretty decent eye for after working at a design-driven branding agency for half a decade). And I’m certain she’d make a fabulous junior AD or content strategist. Unfortunately she, like many in this pandemic, is still without a job. Any advice for her and/or shops/hiring managers/non-traditional job hunt tips to steer her towards?

I recently had an initial interview for a technical recruiter position. The guy on the phone stated that this is not a 9-5 job and long hours are expected.
