Remember that we are all impostors insofar as we think we are hot sh**. We’ve all got problems, all commit wrongs, all struggle… it’s the human condition. Just remember that next time you talk to someone else you think has their act together! Praying for you 🙏

I’m currently a junior associate in a boutique litigation firm handling IP. I’ve taken a depo already, will argue in court next month and by all accounts, I am great at it. But I’m miserable. I find the games with opposing counsel exhausting and I despise writing briefs (even if I’m good at it). My pre-law school job was in public relations and I chose litigation because I like to win, but I’m now realizing I like success more than the win-lose. Feeling lost… should I move to transactional?

Trying to transition out of Accenture into KPMG after 2 years of experience. Probably at the Senior Consultant level for salesforce. However, I’ve never switched companies before but I want to be sure I’m compensated correctly. For that level and practice - how much should I be asking/expecting?? I don’t want to undersell myself and have the confidence to ask for what I deserve

I got a full time offer from the company I interned at this summer. However, I have been applying and interviewing at various consulting firms so far. Some of them I won’t hear back until September/October. Is it wrong to accept the offer and then reject it if I get a better offer? I don’t wanna burn a bridge with this company since I really enjoyed my experience there but I have to be smart with my decision since I graduate in December and need an earlier work start date.
