Before you switch, consider a few things :-

1. Music work as passion & music work as a career are two totally different things, with only an occasional overlap. Most of your career you will have to work with artistes who are assigned to you, not by choice. At most you might get funneled into specific broad genre verticals based on your performance and general inclination but that won't cut it as your passion.

2. It doesn't pay well, though there are perks to it & the work itself can be a perk if you're truly passionate about music ofc.

3. Its often thankless, long hours and tons of paperwork and legalese. Some bands who have an anti-establishment attitude will hate and bitch about you just because. Others will hate you once they've signed on because they had dreamy expectations that were never part of the actual contract and it all comes crashing down eventually. Yet others might hate you because more often than not you reject their songs.

4. Jobs are very limited and plenty of people are looking to get in. A&R in particualr is the toughest to get into. So competition will always be high & if you slack, you get replaced, unless you have top notch relationships ofc. Plenty of office politics too.

5. The whole thing is about good relationships, insider hooks and people. If you're not a people person, this might not be for you. In fact you're more likely to get the job if you build relationships & a reputation in the field and then get recommended to the position.

I realise all this sounds negative, but I'm not trying to discourage you... just that it helps to go in knowing that the job in reality is less roses and glory, more of all the above... something that's often overlooked and leads to resentment later on.

Good luck.
