Find a startup. I think there’s still a ton of legacy thinking among the big players.

What's Tech Sales?

They'll need to start as BDR and prove that they have what it takes

If they're not hearing back from corporate yet, they'll need to earn their stripes at some startups or other industry and work their way in

Launching an apparel brand with my cousin! I’ve always been more business savvy, and she’s a graphic designer. We were thinking we would first try print on demand to see how it starts out (and not dedicate too much time since I work a 40 hour work week still), then can eventually shift to distributing it out ourselves. What are some tips or advice for launching a brand? What are some websites/programs/tools you can’t live without?

Anyone else obsess over your next career move? I’m a senior associate in a niche BigLaw group in DC. I am just now hitting my stride and can really see a path to partnership. I handle my own matters relatively independently, am generating some business, and will inherit a large book of business in my favorite space in the next year or so. The problem is that this isn’t what I want, or at least what I think I want. (Continued in comments).

Left my first job after just shy of two years because I was bored. Have been at my current job for about half a year and it’s a great resume builder but an absolute horror story (long hours, unreasonable clients, tons of weekend work that’s not worth the pay).

I can’t imagine staying here for the full year but I don’t want to blow my chances at leaving for a cool job
