I've been applying to the big employers in the area such as PNC, BNY Mellon, Highmark, Coventry, Federated Investors, and UPMC. I would personally love to get in to the healthcare industry so I can at least feel like I'm making an indirect impact on people's lives, but at this point will work just about anywhere that pays me well enough to justify moving to get closer to the in-laws for my wife and daughter. Will most likely have to take a pay cut, but thems the breaks when you're making a move based on your family's best interests.

Sorry for the novel. tl;dr I'm currently in the insurance industry, but am an IT professional who isn't only looking at the finance industry.
