Not sure if it is Covid related or burnout from accelerating work in tax, but does anybody have a personal success story on how to re-energize as a staff? Or once you have checked out mentally is there no turning back? I have just stopped caring as much as I did even as recently as a month ago, with a growing pile of work sitting with me, and I want to figure out how to get back in the mindset that helped me succeed before. Currently a TC2 expecting to transition into Senior TC role.

So what’s the story with all of these very senior diversity and inclusion officers at many of the big advertising agencies? Have they accomplished the hiring of more diverse staff? Or are they just for show? Ours has been here for a few years and there hasn’t been one more African American strategic planner, creative, or account executive hired in that time. Has this position made a difference for people?

Hello. I’ve recently scheduled an interview for a position as an Assistant US Attorney. I am trying to 1) prep for interview and 2) determine if this would be a good move. I am currently staff counsel for an insurance company and the job is pretty cush. If anyone has any tips or feedback, I would greatly appreciate it.

I’m only making $68,500 as a Staff 2 in Risk in a HCOL city. Due to the demanding hours, I feel like I’m getting paid less than minimum wage 😢 and thus, I’m looking for exit opportunities after my senior promotion in October. I haven’t been able to save a lot of money due to rent and paying back student loans. Any life/career advice for me? TIA

Anyone have insight on what changed in the tax industry that guarantees lay-offs are coming? Just curious bc the entire 2020 tax year will be busy season for me.

Id take the opportunity to make career changes but unfortunately work for myself.
