I want to quit the music industry, but don't know what else I could try

I’ve been with the same company for years and can’t visualise what my transferable skills are

I’ve been at the same company for many years (almost from straight out of university) in the music industry, managing rights for artists and songwriters. I am as senior as I can be (it’s a small business) and have been for a while. I know I need to move on, I just can’t think where to.

I check jobs sites regularly for opportunities in the industry but they’re usually more specialised and a bit more junior or a lot more senior – I get the impression my counterparts in larger companies and the major labels are promoted internally.

I’m also a terrible networker and peers often don’t know who I am or how much responsibility I have. This, combined with feeling jaded about the industry, has made me open to other roles, but I’m having trouble visualising what my transferable skills are.

Contracts and licences are something that I draft and negotiate regularly, and understanding how these tie into the whole business is key to my job. I’m good with spreadsheets and handling large amounts of data, and am responsible for accounting royalties. But I have no formal legal, accounting or data qualifications.

There’s also regular client interaction and account management, and my job involves a hell of a lot of problem solving, investigating why things have gone wrong and putting out fires. There’s also project management and probably other skills I’m forgetting. I find it difficult to articulate and translate all of this into roles in other industries.

I also have a literary and creative side, which I’d love to combine with my business experience, though that may be wishful thinking (friends have suggested working for artist or literary agencies). Is there a job for me outside the music industry?
