Recruited for sure

I mean I technically was recruited even tho I was actively looking to switch between B4 but that’s bc once you have b4 on your LinkedIn all the other recruiters start reaching out to you so as soon as you wanna look elsewhere you already have an “in”

Just transferred from IT Audit to Strategy and Transactions. Been a goal of mine for a while so I’m happy to see it play out. Not posting just to say I did it, but because I’ve been following this bowl for a while and see people get negative about being pigeon holed. There were tons of transferable skills that I was able to highlight that got a role that’s completely different, so I just don’t want anyone feeling discouraged if they’re hitting walls.
