Thinking of switching
My coworker has spent years in banking but lately wants to move into tech. We talked about how different the hiring process and day-to-day work can be, especially around data and digital products. He’s unsure which skills from finance will transfer and what he needs to learn from scratch. Could you recommend some good career transitions in the financial and technology sectors?

A coworker of mine spent years in banking before deciding he wanted something closer to technology. At first he assumed his finance background would be enough, but quickly realized he needed to understand data, digital products and how tech teams actually work. I suggested looking at real career paths rather than generic advice. This story on eFinancialCareers about moving from broker to investment banking, VC and finally a tech startup was especially interesting: G. Scott Paterson’s career journey . Has anyone found other useful examples?
