MY STORY:

I transitioned from an analyst role at a hedge fund to Product Manager at a top Canadian bank. The difference? No more repetitive daily routines checking cash flows, trades, and settlements. Instead, I lead strategic projects that drive business value, work with diverse teams, and have the flexibility to design my schedule around my life—not the other way around.

If I can make this transition, so can you.
