Post Data Science Masters Crossroads - I Think I Might Have Screwed My Career
I put my finance career (FP&A) on hold in the middle of the COVID pandemic, cashed out some successful trades during that time, and decided to try transitioning to a Data Science career with a Masters in Data Science and AI from a top university.
Fast-forward over two years later, with a Data Engineering internship in tow, I find myself unemployed upon graduation and unsure I want to continue searching for entry-level jobs in the data field.
If I am to pivot back to finance, how terrible does this look and how would I tailor my resume?
I wouldn't want to jump straight back into "FP&A" per se, but into strategic finance or corporate development. My FP&A work in prior roles was around 60% managerial accounting (close process, variance, etc) and 40% strategic finance (M&A, GTM, etc..). I was more motivated when working on the strategic initiatives and enjoyed work far more, even considering the higher stress and hours.
I have tried to tailor my resume already, but would greatly appreciate it if anyone would be open to criquing my resume.
