Hi all,
I'm looking for some career direction advice. I originally qualified as a chartered accountant through practice 14 years ago. OnceI qualified I moved into insurance/funds. I've worked in various operational roles within funds over the last 14 years.
However I've always wanted to move into a finance or risk function either within funds or in industry. I'll be losing my current job soon which has prompted me to look again.
I dont want to continue in operational roles as I feel I'm not using my skill set and neglecting my core qualifications. Given the time since I worked in direct accountancy or pure financial role, I think its very difficult to find a way back into finance.
Salary is one thing. I don't have the recent relevant experience to get a role as a financial accountant that would be any way on a par with my current salary.
Apart from salary considerations, most roles are looking for recently qualifieds.
Does anyone have any suggestions how I could get to the career direction that I want?
Many thanks.
