Was there ever a time where you seriously considered leaving finance? If so, what was it that made you stay?
I’ve been struggling a lot recently with if it’s definitely the path I want to go down.
I know there’s good money in finance but I don’t want to massively climb up the career ladder and spend my life working to earn a half decent salary :(

Every other day. But I’m finding that it’s more the type of job you do in finance that makes money. For example, I could make more as a project manager in other industries.

Right now, I’m here in finance because I haven’t decided my next role. Aka - make a decent amount of pay for things I like to do.
