Best Seats for the Next Decade
I am a recently unemployed VP (my practice was disbanded) that has worked across a pretty broad spectrum thus far - from distressed to growth, private and public, credit and equity. I enjoy investing, but it would be a stretch to say I am particularly passionate about any individual strategy. I'm now at an awkward intersection where I am either a jack of all trades or a master of none, depending on your pov, and I am trying to figure out which direction I want to take my career in. This has got me thinking - if you found yourself in this position, what would you want to pursue for the rest of your career? Not what is the most prestigious seat or the highest paid, but what do you think provides the highest quality of life outlook overall?
Based on the most helpful WSO content, here are some key points to consider when deciding on the best direction for your career to ensure a high quality of life:
Identify What You Enjoy Doing:
Consider Financial Stability:
Seek Meaningful Work:
Balance Work and Life:
Long-Term Vision:
Be Patient and Analytical:
Professional Relationships and Experiences:
Flexibility and Adaptability:
By considering these factors, you can make a more informed decision about the direction of your career, aiming for a role that not only provides financial stability but also aligns with your personal values and long-term vision for a high quality of life.
