Trying to pivot out of Underwriting

My options are

credit risk - looking at sql and Excel
Mostly focused on portfolio analytics/forecasting/loss mitigation
Comp - Lateral move

Pricing - also sql/Sas and excel but will possibly be part of Product development stuff/analytics
Comp - Step up

Project management - sw requirement, execute test scripts, other ad hoc stuff
Comp - Step up

Yoe: 1.5
Tc: 90k

What has the most upside? Any advice?#finance #interview

I’m having the same dilemma trying to get out of underwriting as well. But I don’t want a role in a bank or lender/mortgage company

I'd say if you're looking to stay in finance long-term, stick with credit or pricing. If you're open to potentially branching out long-term, project management opens a lot of doors, but does introduce a bit of chaos because of that.

I'm at an early stage tech start up and gaining experience in an industry that I like. However, I am getting no formal training or sales coaching. Everything I've done so far (Inc. Targeted marketing and prospecting) has been self taught and I feel like I am lacking professional knowledge if I was to move onto a different company, especially considering that I am not involved in the full sales cycle.

I started a new job just 7 weeks ago, but an opportunity for a dream job just suddenly and unexpectedly fell into my lap! It’s a lot more money, more aligned with my career goals, and will have better work life balance. I’d be an idiot to not take this great new opportunity! That being said… I’m going to feel bad leaving this new job so soon. I’m sure they’ll be disappointed and maybe even angry… is there any way to NOT burn bridges on my way out of this current job?

I had a very positive experience interviewing with Amazon for an L5 Technical Writer role. I originally applied for a lower level writing role, ending up acing my Loop, and was passed on to speak to the hiring manager for the L5 role.

Given the positive tone of our conversation, I expect to receive an offer this week.
