Be careful while walking tight-rope questions such as these. Suggesting you might be happier in another industry could raise concerns that you might burn out on the job more quickly in their industry. For a financial analyst, it's no secret the industry you work in has a big impact on the salary you receive and your opportunities for advancement. Investment banking, consulting, and asset management are more likely to be top earners, and government, non-profit, and education are more likely to be the lowest earners. So showcase your communication skills while answering this question and suggest that this opportunity you are interviewing for is the right fit for you.
