Hello,
First thread here on WSO. Appreciate your help, advices, tips, leads or anything on a career change from accounting to finance. Open to all in finance - corporate finance, PE, VC, banking, consulting and etc... in any capacity.
Background about myself:
MBA - Boston College, CFA charterholder since 2018, CPA license since 2010, 5 years in public accounting at Big Four auditing investment companies, 4 years in accounting at investment companies (one Fortune 500, the other a giant fund); last two years in the greater NYC metro, Unemployed since last week.
Most recent employer had "dismal year" (to quote a news article) resulting in reduced headcount. Unfortunately for me, my role didn't survive the cut. It's all business; all good.
Being a decent saver, I can ride out the unemployment situation for a while (though not indefinitely). Wanted to take my time to consider the a potential career change carefully. Am also thinking of extended travel (6-9 months) to clear my head and plan next steps.
Based on my background, I am curious as to how best to break into finance in NYC?
Thank you!
