I'm mid level management in finance and my company just implemented Workday recently. Done a bunch of research and I'm thinking of switching careers drastically from finance to workday. My reasons are below but I'll appreciate if you can give me your thoughts i.e. am i offtrack? Is my rationale flawed?... I'm based in Ontario Canada:

Reason 1- depth of experience. I currently do high level finance strategy which really is a lot of stakeholdering and although i have my CPA, MBA etc.. im no longer close to the actual work so im no longer an expert in anything. Workday will give me that steep learning curve needed to become an expert

2- long term exit opportunities - im hoping that once i do a few years and learn the ropes, i can become a full time contractor working for numerous companies or maybe even start my own gig and take workday to different contries...basically i want to learn as much as i can then leverage my expertise as much as possible through contracting

3- more remote roles. Post covid, it seems finance is back to office but i see a lot of workday roles still remote. I love that flexibility

4. Compensation- im currently mid level management earning around 150kish.. not sure an entry level workday role will give me this if i want to transition but I'm thinking i can get two remote contract roles at once to make more money...or even if i have to take a paycut(hopefully not), it'll be for 1/2yrs then i can change jobs to command a premium once im more learned in the field... speaking with a few workday consultants in the US and it seems they all started out for a year with a low salary then moved to contract and handled a few clients at once to break bank... im not sure how possible that is here in canada

Any thoughts are welcome and pls dont roast me, im just trying to navigate this myself hence the honest questions
