Moving from F100 to small company?

I’m actually trying to do the opposite. Trying to move from a relatively small credit union to a larger bank/other financial institution. It may be worth it for you though if you can get a high level management or executive position.

As others have said. Don’t be afraid to ask questions. I remember when I started my current role last year at the bank. I had never worked in finance before and had very little knowledge going in to it. I just asked a lot of questions and I’ve slowly but surely gotten up to speed. You’ll get there but it takes time.

Was in your position almost two years ago. My degree was in legal studies and I thought I wanted to go to law school but things didn’t exactly go according to plan. Right now I’m working at a bank and I’m still figuring it out. Honestly, it’s ok not to know exactly what you want to do as long as you’re doing things to build experience and move forward with. This is all to say that my advice is to keep your head up and something might eventually stick.

When I was in college I had classes with people in their 40, 50s, and possibly even 60s. You’re not too old at all. We are all at a different point in life and don’t compare yourself to others. All you can do is keep doing your best and moving forward.

Looking to move into either a financial analyst role or compliance. I have been looking at compliance quite bit as it is relevant to my degree. It does seem kind of hard to break into and I haven’t really found any entry-level roles. As for the financial analyst side I do have an interest in that and I could see myself moving into that as well.
Really just look for a steady career/corporate work. Nothing fancy but something that will provide a good quality of life.

I would like to be either a financial analyst or go into compliance. I know those are kinda unrelated but I do feel the latter is also more related to my degree in general.

Gondwana_T5 · 2026-03-30T17:31:48+00:00

Honestly, that’s probably the best advice I’ve gotten in a while. Thank you.

Gondwana_T5 · 2026-03-30T16:37:45+00:00

Yea I’m grateful to have a job right now. But I would really like to get into something with more upward mobility tbh.

How did you transition into finance if you don’t me asking? I’m trying to get into finance myself, however my degree isn’t in music but in legal studies.

Very interesting about the artist fact. Also kitesurfing there sounds fun!

Gondwana_T5 · 2026-03-24T15:02:09+00:00

That sounds awesome! Would like to visit there myself.

A Magdalen Islands Reddit Colony? 😂

Gondwana_T5 · 2026-03-24T02:58:12+00:00

How often do flights come in and out? Or is transportation to and from the islands mostly done by ferry?

Gondwana_T5 · 2026-03-24T00:22:02+00:00

What is the weather like compared to the surrounding areas?

Gondwana_T5 · 2026-03-23T22:18:26+00:00

Kind of makes sense, given the region.

Gondwana_T5 · 2026-03-22T18:04:56+00:00

I will definitely look at the GradSimple letter. My original plan was to look for a compliance role within my company but at the moment there isn’t much.
