Being made redundant

27 replies

DramaLlama20 · 06/02/2023 15:28

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!
