Anyone ever leave accounting, try something new… and absolutely hate it? I finally escaped public, pivoted into a more “creative” finance-adjacent role, and for the first few months I told myself I just needed time to adjust. Now I’m realizing this job isn’t it either. Different problems, same knot in my stomach. I feel embarrassed. Is it normal to boomerang between pivots before you actually land somewhere that fits? Or did I just make things worse by leaving in the first place?

I received a job offer from a PI firm (MVA and tractor trailer cases) in Houston, Texas; the bonus proposed was 2.5% of attorney’s fees for any cases settled each quarter. We are assigned 50 cases a quarter and the top attorney clears $25K each quarter. This is my first time working at a PI firm. Can anyone share any guidance? Is 2.5% industry standard? Is it realistic to settle/resolve that many cases? I am trying to learn more about this niche before I counter-offer and attempt to negotiate.

Hello everyone,

I had my second technical interview two weeks ago and I had emailed the recruiter to check for any progress on my application. I just received an email saying they want to talk to me over call. Should I be worried? Given the hiring freeze .. I am a little worked up. I mean, I would surely talk to her soon to know the situation but my anxiety is off the charts. Is this positive or negative ?

Does anyone have any idea of a really, really nice and high-end thing to do with a client in the Chicago western suburbs?
