I’d add that this is why I liked working for a big corporate right out of university.
Opportunity to make lots of sideways moves between different career paths without needing to apply for jobs externally. I just needed to network internally (easier on a global shared MS Teams) and ask if I could try stuff out.
Over 5 years and 1 uni internship at EY, I did:
Audit—energy sector
Audit—consumer goods
ICAS chartered accountancy qualification
International tax—transfer pricing
Tax technology—business analyst/​sales
Tax technology—product manager
Lots of variety and lots of support which is good because I’m personally quite risk averse.
I’m very lucky to love what I do and I credit being able to try out lots of things out in a low stakes way.
