Pivot from Financial Services to new career path

Published on 09/21/2025 Hiring & Talent Acquisition Insights

The user has 5 years of experience in Financial Services and actively dislikes it, having been laid off and changed companies multiple times. This indicates a strong desire for a career pivot. To identify better opportunities, the user should perform a skills audit of their financial services experience (e.g., data analysis, project management, client relations, regulatory compliance) to find transferable skills. Exploring growth sectors like tech (FinTech, Business Analyst roles), healthcare administration, or project management could be viable. Networking and informational interviews are crucial for understanding new fields. Targeted online courses or certifications (e.g., PMP, data analytics certifications) could bridge skill gaps.
