What inspired everyone to start working in finance? I feel like a lot of the time people end up in this role without it being the plan. So would love to hear about people that have aspired to work in finance, and how’s it’s come about!?

I ended up in the industry because that's what my uncle did and he helped me land my first job post college. At the start it was just taking what I could get and then I actually got really interested in it. It's lucrative, endlessly interesting, and relatively stable compared to a lot of other industries right now

I had a similar thing with my mum and actually ended up loving it! Mine wasn't exactly planned, but I am so happy with it. 100%, I never feel too anxious that I will be out of a job

I have an offer accepted from Elevance 125k (Anthem) and w a good team and seems that WLB would be ok. Also, Amazon hiring manager wants to interview me for a job. Is just a hiring manager int. so obvi nothing guaranteed. Salary if offered will be more than 150k. My question is should I accept the interview and see where it goes? Is it really worth it to proceed with a company like Amazon for 25k+. I live in CA so $ is imp but I do have a toddler so WLB is also imp. Both role are Sr. MGR.

Hey fishies! I’m looking to take a leap into the remote world. I am a Sr. Graphic designer and art director in Toronto, Canada 🇨🇦. I’m looking to take on more of an art director and creative director role, remotely. I can attach my website and a portfolio if anyone can help out.
