Hi @appreciable-beec,

I'm sorry to hear about your concerns! The best first steps when you are questioning your career is to determine if you are happy in your current role. If you are happy within your current role then your progression paths can vary greatly and lead in great places. If you are unhappy with your current role then you can begin to explore what other options you have that work with your current skillsets.

I hope this advice helps you! I'm working on a project currently that is targeted at heplping gradates and young professionals to transition into and stay in corporate careers and would love your input. We're developing a website that will offer advice, knowledge, and learning opportunities to kickstart your career, including LinkedIn-certifiable courses, business blogs, templates, career advice, and more.

Is this something you’d find useful and be interested in subscribing to? Your feedback would be incredibly valuable.

Thanks a lot!

Best, Darcey

Hey! I totally understand how you’re feeling. When I was starting out in finance, I felt stuck and unsure too. One thing that helped me was setting clear, short-term goals for myself and finding a mentor who’d been through the same struggles. It was really motivating to have someone to talk to who could offer advice and support.
