So it depends on a lot of factors. I would recommend working with a career coach ( feel free to message me. Happy to share a few names if you’d like)
I always recommend the following whenever I get questions about career switching:
1. Make a list of all the skills and abilities for each of the roles that you’ve had overtime. When you’re doing this think about all the projects that you’ve worked on and the things that you’ve delivered and the results that you have driven then go through and organize that list into three categories.: love it (80%), tolerate it (20%), leave it (0%). The percents represent what part of your future career/roles you want to spend doing those tasks. Leave its are things you never want to do again. You’re wanting to career change for a reason, don’t leave lessons learned on the table!

3. Determine your bottom dollar salary, your mid salary, and your ideal salary. This will depend on a lot of things such as where you see your life in the next ones, 5,10 years and what you want to hope to achieve, your family and financial responsibilities, and lifestyle.

3.Determine if you’re willing/able to go back to school, go through a cert program, do a few trainings on your own to upskill, or transferable skills/degree only and how much you’re willing/able to spend on that in time and money (whatever you choose here is perfectly fine, it just helps you narrow down which career options are available to you in this phase of your life-no wrong answers!)

4. Put your list with the following prompt to a LLM like chatGPT with your list, salary range, and professional development criteria from steps 1-3, and resume/LinkedIn profile (if comfortable, would recommend this for a private LLM license that protects your data from training open sources): “I am looking to change my career path. List ten professions that would be a good match and why based on the following professional documents and criteria for salary and professional development investment? Please order them by highest percent match to lowest.Please exclude careers with responsibilities in the “Leave It” column.” Once you get a response, the. You can ask it to give you an overview of the responsibilities and requirements for each role. Then select 3-4 you want to explore further based on the answers. Ask what you would need to do to close any education, experience, and/or skill gaps to be at the level you want to be at. You may have to take a lower level at first to learn the ropes depending.

5. Spend the next week connecting with people and having coffee chats with those currently working in that field. Go with a list of questions and offer to buy them a coffee for their time. Also do more research using search engines to learn more about the role and what you’d need to do should you decide to pursue that career.

6. Narrow it down to 1-2 choices and commit. Begin to necessary steps to make that move! Remember, you can always change this later, and whatever you pick now doesn’t mean that that’s what you have to do forever just like organizational development. I would not recommend more than one to two because there is a level of expected dedication, and time investment to truly fill the gaps and also learn to speak the language of that profession and be able to link your experience back to it in a way that clearly demonstrates the ties between your previous experience, the upscaling you’ve done, and the roll you’re pursuing.

7.draft a separate résumé for each of the roles that you are applying for. You should only include or highlight the skills that are transferable. I recommend taking a look at job descriptions, and the order in which they list their responsibilities to help you determine what to put on there and what not to. Claude AI I’ve heard is helpful with resumes and job description alignment. Remember though this is your résumé and you have to be able to speak to it in articulate it confidently if it doesn’t feel right, putting it on your résumé, then don’t put it on your resume. Also, don’t be misleading about your experience. It’s OK that your experience is different, you just have to connect the dots for them, but it’s not OK to falsify experience on a resume or in application documents.

Wishing you the best in your new career pursuits, and like I said, feel free to message me if you’d like to chat more or if you are looking for some names for some career coaches.

Has anyone found a way to automate salary certifications?

We get about 3-5 requests daily to fill out salary certifications for our employees in EMEA.

At the moment, we have to do all of them manually. We open a pdf, then open their employee file and plug away. It's tedious and time-consuming, but the banks I found won't accept an internal salary certification for some reason. They're adamant about using their form. Has anyone come across this?
