Longtime lurker, first time poster. Hoping to get an answer to a question that's been bugging me for some time.
I currently work for a regulator (think SEC, FINRA, CFTC) and notice that, while most of my colleagues come from BO (compliance, ops, etc.), a few previously worked in FO What I don't understand is why anyone, other than maybe someone close to retirement who wants to coast for the last few years of their career, would leave an FO position to work for a regulator.
Could they not hack it in FO? Got tired of the stress/hours?
What do you guys think?
quest for a work life balance?
bump
There are two things I'm bad at in life:
a) Sales, unless the product sells itself
b) Compliance - its so boring... how do you even excel? By making sure things comply?? sounds fun (not)
