Being made redundant

27 replies

I'm shortly taking voluntary redundancy, it's very much more like mandatory as the job after would be nothing like it is now and to be honest I've been looking for a way out of my industry for a while. I'm currently a mortgage advisor for a high Street bank.

I really want to change my role entirely, I have no degree but do have mortgage and financial advisor qualifications. I've worked in banking since I was 19. I'm more of a sales person and not great with numbers in terms of accountancy etc so not looking to move into that type of role. I do have ADHD diagnosed and possible Dyscalculia.

I cant afford to take time out to get a degree and wouldn't be sure what to pursue anyway. Anyone moved from banking & finance to another career and have any ideas or tips? I'm nearly 40 so it'll be a big change but I'm 100% ready for it.

Sorry to post here but I need the traffic thank you.

@Eminybob do underwriters go through a yearly 'fit and proper' assessment like mortgage advisers do? Just out of interest. I have some debt to clear with my redundancy so don't want this to go against me. I've found a great job to apply for but wanted to check this first. Thanks.

No as it's not a regulated role in the same way as advice.
Ooh do apply and good luck!

@Eminybob thank you. I've jazzed my CV up today and will apply tomorrow once I'm sure it's up to scratch!
