1.5 years - ballpark number

Don’t leave unless it’s a comparable or better consulting firm. Don’t leave to industry yet - you’ll get a quick pay day but your future earnings will be shot. Wait at least 1.5 years preferably 2 after the promo.

Yeah I thought conventional wisdom was to basically leave after every promo

Screw all these comments, leave as soon as you think you can get a better opportunity. I was trying to leave before DU. Ended up failing some interviews, and it took a year to get out, but it was a great move for me. I work with great people, learn a lot on things I care about and make twice the money.

Yeah you're right. That was an assumption for me when I was searching so I didn't think to list it out explicitly.

Left ACN after 12 months and a promo. Happier now for the much needed pay bump. Regret it in aspects of certain freedoms I had before that I don’t have now

like

Felt ACN was a little bit more laid back, no tracking & trading/restrictions of investments. The project I was in was also very flexible with work schedule.

There was a guy I worked with when I was at D, who left ~6 months in. Went to join the Army instead because he didn't feel like he was vibing with a boring office job.

I'm leaving my current firm (boutique firm in Brazil) to go for Oliver, before completing 1 year as an intern.

But since it's an internship, I suppose it's okayish to do it

Does anyone feel their practice area is fun and/or exciting? I’m a commercial litigator and yes I have a wide variety of cases but it’s becoming kind of redundant. I’ve always had an interest in business, finance, investments etc. (private equity and stock market) and was wondering what practice would be best to merge the two?Any suggestions or comments on what you find to be an enjoyable practice area?
