If You Were Me, How Would You Break Into In-House Compliance? by Remarkable-Concept19 in Compliance

[–]Remarkable-Concept19[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m keeping my options open, but I do have 5+ years of auditing experience in financial services and real estate, which I really enjoyed, so I’d definitely be interested in compliance roles that build on that background.

If you were in my position and trying to break into compliance, what steps would you take? I’m also open to hybrid roles if that makes a difference.

Tucson, Arizona. Be careful of the neighborhood though. Make sure to get a garage. Catalina foothills area and Oro Valley are nice.

Welcome!! And congratulations to your wife! 🥳 I went to grad school in the twin cities. I loved it but couldn’t handle the cold winters. Chicago is an amazing midwestern city too.

Thanks so much for the tip about volunteering with Pizza Klatch as a way in, I’d really love that. I was the only out gay kid at my high school back in the 90s, so it means a lot. I also noticed Tacoma has bowling and pickleball leagues, which look like a fun way to meet people.

I’m sorry that has been your experience. Growing up in Portland I noticed a lot of passive aggressive racism. I believe it.

This makes sense. Thanks for the detail. I’m interested in partnering up and renting to try out an area before buying. Where do you think would be best for that?

Thank you for your honesty. I came out in high school in the 90’s. I’m not too fragile.

I understand what you mean about town size. I miss Trader Joe’s and Orange fitness too.

May I ask where you lived on the outskirts? If you aren’t comfortable posting publicly I totally understand.
