What’s the minimum you’d want to make a year and then look at careers in that industry

Of course filtering for what you like, if WLB is important to you, if altruistic aspects are important etc

like

Like IBA1 said - rank what’s most important to you.

If WLB, go FP&A/strategy for a corporate.
If you like M&A but just not sell-side, go PE, the WLB is just as bad but it’s a different lens and you’re actually investing money.
If you want IB but want better hours go down market or to a boutique.

I currently do securities ops/accounting but want to move into a more client facing role. One of our marketing/client service associates got a promotion, so I’m guessing she’ll be doing higher level work, which may leave a gap for some of the work she used to do. How would I go about asking if I can work on that team in some capacity but still do my current role? I’ve only been there 1 yr and I know my current manager also has some higher level items in securities ops he wants me to do as well.

Working on some law firm applications tonight and it sucks that I know that I am so capable and have a strong work ethic but firms can’t see beyond grades or the fact that I didn’t go to a t14 law school or prestigious undergrad. I’ve worked twice as hard and feel like I’ve barely even gotten half as much. It’s discouraging sometimes especially because I worked so hard with pretty much no guidance (first gen, poc, low-income) to get into college and do well and then get into a t30 law school
