What career am I good for?
I left uni with a 2:2 in economics.
I worked for 2 years as a financial adviser.
I then joined a private equity firm, and was assistant manager on a Venture Capital fund. After 4 years I left and wanted to try running a real business rather than just pushing spreadsheets and going to meetings, so I setup a small printing and design company.
I am now selling this business and need to find a new line of work. Trouble is I’m at a loss as to what I could/should do next. I have good analytical financial and managerial skills. I am also a self starter with a solid career and entrepreneurial history. Beyond that I don’t really have any special skills as such.
I would normally look for another job in finance, but with the City in the state it’s in at the moment I think that’s unlikely. Also I am quite open to moving out of London since my wife and I might like to start a family but would prefer to be in a ‘greener’ part of the world for that.
I would ideally be aiming for a job around £40k, but would drop for the right opportunity if the career path was there to rebuild up again.
Any suggestions would be welcome, as I’m not sure where to start looking.
