From public sector to commerce

Anonymous wrote

I am an ACMA with over 20 years experience in financial and management accounts. For the last 5 years I've worked in the public and not-for-profit sectors, latterly in FP&A, but have found that I'm now 'typecast' in these roles.What are the steps that I should take to successfully return to the commercial world?


A consultant at Marks Sattin wrote:

Although working in the public and not for profit industry can be rewarding, it is not generally perceived to be good experience from which to move into the commercial sector, and you will find it difficult to make this transition. Your recent experience within FP&A also means that the roles that will suit you best will be commercial positions that are highly sought after. I would suggest moving into a more competitive area of public sector such as the housing organisations as these are better respected.

All the best
