My friend group has a "mom of the group" , who actually seems to enjoy planning things out and pushing people to stick to them.

It's not the fairest arrangement, but I'm not complaining, given I never have to deal with this problem.

Just transferred from IT Audit to Strategy and Transactions. Been a goal of mine for a while so I’m happy to see it play out. Not posting just to say I did it, but because I’ve been following this bowl for a while and see people get negative about being pigeon holed. There were tons of transferable skills that I was able to highlight that got a role that’s completely different, so I just don’t want anyone feeling discouraged if they’re hitting walls.
