Corporate Finance Career Path

With the credentials that you cite, you should be able to step right into the career you seek.

However, when you say switch from "IT" I'm wondering exactly why. Depending on what exactly you do in IT, I suspect might be much more lucrative than almost any position in finance.

Is this a case of the grass being greener on the other side of the fence perhaps?

Thanks for your reply and feedback. this is encouraging starting point. Finance something that I always longed for. Its not about grass being greener...its the passion and what comes naturally to me..what kind of jobs should i apply....and how should i prepare myself.?

Finance executives with a depth of technology understanding are marketable. Your challenge will be the non-traditional finance career climb. You will be the "right purple cow" to a specific target audience - so that is the audience to whom you should market yourself.

Remember, it's not about what you've done or the credentials you hold. Ultimately, it is about how you solved problems and impacted the organizations.

Large corporations typically have roles which bridge the gap between IT and the business units. I am sure there are some opportunities if you pursue this route. Also, you can leverage your prior experience in a company in a treasury role or one of the other functions you mentioned. You shouldn’t have to start all over unless you don't want to use some of the skills you already used.
