Anyone Gone from FO to BO in Mid-Career?

我一直在寻找较小的城市,较低的生活成本以及更悠闲的生活方式。当然,这通常不与相同FOopportunities as the big city. And when it does, it's not the most exciting cities in the world i.e. Charlotte as an example.

However, a lot of other cool spots in the U.S.have considerable back officeoperations. I'm not an ego-maniac. I'd becool workingBO在较小的地方。有人做到了吗?FOtoBOin mid-career? Do you have to start at square one or if you're a VP in M&A for example, can you start higher up inBOor are you even perhaps dinged as over-qualified?

是否想听听遵循这条路线的中级人士或认识的人的来信?

Just curious, why do you want to do this? Just tired of the rat race? Want better hours? Can't you try to downshift to a smaller firm in low COL city, or maybe do corporate development? Seems that pay and intellectual stimulation would be higher, with perhaps same hours.

Replying to both you and [RichChigga]. I actually made an exit-op to corporate a while back and have a pretty nice position but I'm starting to think more about location rather than comp.

I'm juggling between two choices. Work in the big city and move to somewhere better in retirement/potentially early retirement......or just go somewhere more relaxing and better now and just make less comp. Seems kind of silly to work your whole life to move somewhere else....if you can potentially just move there now. Either outcome is ultimately a good outcome, but am just exploring the options.

If youre inIBnow, then I will just grab a FP&A job at most company with ease. It should also provide you with the same lifestyle.

why not just get another job in another area? I personally would rather just take on a new role at another company than become support staff for the role i used to work

好吧,这也是一种可能性,但我的猜测是,您可能会在整个行业以外的事物中的图腾杆上起步很低。如果我担心踏入后台,请想象一下您可能从完全无关的事情开始。

Also, not trying to knock you, but that's an easy thing to do if you're analyst 1. Harder to throw away a decade of climbing the ladder in one particular direction.

Low on the totem pole compared to what? If you're coming fromIByou could probably move over to Corp Dev easily enough, and that's generally a far more desirable role thanBO. If you want even slower and more low key then there's always something like FP&A. The way I see it, moving toBOis moving directly down the totem pole within a firm, so I would rather move laterally as well to avoid that

Kinda funny.....still no answers here. That was the reason that I asked in the first place. Haven't heard much about this potential exit-op route.
