If your current employer is treating you well, paying you market rate, and you enjoy the work you do, I don't see why you would want to leave. However, it's always a good idea to expand our horizons by trying something new.

What do you want to change to?

I pivoted careers a year after ug bc I knew I was made the wrong choice and I’ve never regretted it. It’s scary but if you really feel it in your gut, make a plan and follow it while you’re still young!

Any advice on how to pivot? I got into consulting late and couldn’t go big 4 in undergrad. I was hoping to move in as an experienced hire sometime this year

I’m a midlevel who recently joined a new firm where my group is very busy, so my teams encourage pushing work down to junior associates. Seems great, but the problem is that whenever I give a junior associate a drafting assignment that’s not rote document processing, I have to redraft the entire thing and it takes just as long or longer than if I had done the work myself. I try to ask them to revise when I can, but we often don’t have time for more rounds of that. How can I handle this better?

I stupidly gave a salary range during the interview of 110-140k, cuz I was guessing, but I know JPM pays 130k base for the same role. How do I get myself to 130? First time negotiating, any advice appreciated!!!
