Career Advice - Resume Included

Hello WSO Junkies,

I'm an early 30s professional and spent the majority of my adult career in banking and finance. I recently obtained my SIE and Series 7 FINRA licenses in preparation for a career change. However, I'm unsure what's the next logical step so I'd like to crowdsource some feedback from the group on possible career opportunities that would be a good fit. My goal is to obtain a role as part of a deal team for a Private Credit or Real Estate Fund but open to other ideas based on my background and what others think may be a good fit.


Best Regards
