Would like some advice from partners. I was in financial services doing accounting, tax, technology and implementation for hedge funds through my career. I’m looking to settle on a specialty now. Is there anything specific you would advise for someone like me that’s not too far off from what I currently have on my resume? I’m looking for good upside that’s really a good career for the long haul. Thank you in advance!!
