In addition to your Just wanted to suggest to prioritize those industries and occupations that better suit your preferences, interests, talents and personality to help focus your search. You will likely change positions/employers frequently throughout your career but figuring this out in the beginning helps minimize missteps down the road. I learned the hard way when it was too difficult to make a career change. Lots of resources available these days.

Hello Ismael,

1. Technology:
Software engineering
Data science
Cybersecurity
Systems engineering
2. Healthcare:
Medicine
Dentistry
Pharmacy
Nursing
3. Law:
Corporate law

Remember that salary and benefits are just one factor to consider when choosing a career. It's also important to find a job that aligns with your passions and interests. Consider factors like work-life balance, job satisfaction, and opportunities for growth and advancement.
To help you narrow down your options, you might want to consider:
Your interests and passions: What subjects do you enjoy studying? What activities do you find fulfilling?
Your skills and strengths: What are you good at? What are your natural talents?
Your values: What is important to you in a job? What kind of work environment do you prefer?
You can also explore career counseling services or online resources to help you identify potential career paths.
Best wishes!

Thank so you such for so many options, if feel comfortable with investment banking. What do you think about investment banking?
Ismael
Of course!
Investment banking offers high salaries and substantial bonuses, but comes with long hours and high stress. It provides career growth, skill development, and prestige, but also demands strong analytical skills, a genuine interest in finance, and resilience to high-pressure situations. If you thrive in a fast-paced environment and can handle intense work demands, it could be rewarding. However, if work-life balance and stress are major concerns, you might consider other finance roles with a better balance.

Hey there!
I'm a firm believer that our career paths should align with our strengths. I've been immersed in the commercial sector for the past four years, and I've realized that the company you're part of plays a significant role. The commercial field can be quite rewarding financially, with many roles offering bonuses tied to your achievements or even commissions on deals you secure. However, the benefits can vary depending on the company you're with.
One thing to note about sales is that it can be a high-pressure environment. You might face comparisons with colleagues or feel the internal push to meet targets. But remember, resilience is key in this field.
Best of luck!
