Breaking into finance with a background in human resources?

Really? Every bank I work with has attractive female sales people. For some reason, most of the senior people are older men though. Presumably, the attractive young women marry the older men at some point (sometimes it’s the guy’s round 2). I’m 70% serious here.

How realistic is it to break into finance with a background in human resources? Will a background in HR help me at all?

HR is really the best experience you can get to get into the top finance positions. Think about it, you’re already working with the best and brightest! Why shouldn’t you join them?! You’re placing people that have already been hired - why shouldn’t you get hired? You ask all the questions employees will face - why shouldn’t you be a finance employee? Think about these questions before you go to sleep every night and they will be in your dreams. Thats about as close as you’ll ever get to finance… your dreams. When reality hits - hit the off button on your alarm clock because your 9-5er at HR starts in a few minutes.

By far the douchiest answer I’ve read in a while. I think your newest fad diet is messing with your menstrual cycle.

he must be really stressed or fed with his career or something…Maybe he is getting ready for another computerized excel test for his next job…
