Anyone ever leave for a chiller role then regret it? I did three years in Consulting then went to PE. After a year in PE I came back to Consulting because the stress/culture of the fund I joined was far worse than I expected. I’ve been back in Consulting for a while now, and am enjoying being back, but I can’t shake this feeling I’m wasting my potential. Like because I’m no longer reaching for the highest rung on the ladder (PE), I’m selling myself short professionally. Any advice?

Find some more fulfilling hobbies outside of work. “Your potential” isn’t (or atleast shouldn’t) be just about work, and it sounds like you need to have things going on outside of work to feel proud of too. Should be easy w/ all your newfound time being out of PE grind - haha

If we want to solve Anti Asian hate, then we also need self introspection and a dialogue about white envy and proximity to whiteness.
We need to be truly proud of our culture and people. Black and Hispanic people are unapologetically proud of theirs. On the other hand, we show pride by taking our white partners to dim sum. This is the other reason why we are a model minority. We surrender ourselves and seek white acceptance. Everyone sees through this and they don't respect us.
