moving to a different firm?

Put your hand out and say “ding ding ding”

Quite helpful for people who trying to find answers on how to navigate?

It really has to be based on what level you are and why are you willing to move. If you are senior and looking to get settled it will be one type of story, if you young and want to see what’s out there in the world that will be another type of story. Remember , there’s a chance of connecting in being truthful. That will be your own unique story which no one can have. All the pitch around looking for challenging work is very common. Find your own story.
