Yuuuuup has been super tough. trying to career pivot (need to excel in interviews) while also working 50+ hours in my job that i hate. have a few good leads now - thinking about quitting so i can fully commit to the search + reset a little bit

Not a bad plan. Hang in there friend! Just be sure to budget for more time than you think you need if you quit. Some of these recruiters are only available a week or two out… that said, protect your mental health and don’t put up with something that makes you truly miserable

Hey! I can totally relate. I am currently looking for a new job and so far, not good. LOL

Hey!! So I see that your search for a new job. I work in the financial services industry, my team and I are expanding looking for sharp, ambitious, and business minded individuals. If your looking for a great opportunity to make some more income or looking into a new career field shoot me a text (505)208-5598 so I can give you more info and see if this is a good fit for you!

Here’s some of what I’ve learned so far, if this helps:
1. Practice interviewing (tantamount)
2. Memorize your “about me” story
3. Brush up on jargon, terms, etc
4. Prepare a list of questions and ask peers for good ones
5. Use excel or other to stay organized
6. Applying hasn’t helped me- best results have come from referrals of friends or people I ask on LinkedIn
7. Be tidy for video calls - workspace, attire, etx
8. Have peers advise on resume (I’ve had like, 8 iterations) - make sure to use a simple style that plugs into an ats
9. Write down your interviewers questions and take notes after each interview to reflect on
10. Books help
11. Perhaps pay someone to coach you/ I haven’t; but I would have advised me three months ago to have done so

When and how do you push back on people senior to you? Fifth year dealing with supersenior associate (11th year) who completely lacks good judgment & common sense. One of those super smart but impractical types. As just one example, he recently called me to tell me to call someone who’s on vacation and ask them to send a calendar invite. I offered to send myself but apparently that wouldn’t work (presumably because it would be efficient & make sense.) At what point (and how) do I Just Say No?

I’m so bad at writing the background/ facts section for briefs… it always gets heavily edited and no one is giving me constructive feedback other than “advocate more”. In contrast, my legal argument section is generally without edits. For context, first defense lit job post appellate clerkship. Is this normal?? Any tips for getting better other than “advocating more”?

I can really use some direction. My background, I've worked 2 years in strategy and am currently coming off an exhausting year 2 in investment banking. I didn't particularly enjoy either role and am not interested in moving over to the buy-side or some monotonous FP&A role. Everybody says there's exit-ops aplenty, but I find myself with less options and even more picky than I did as an ambitious T2 undergrad student. Where do I go from here?

I’m a first year associate (almost second year). I work at a national firm and I’m not a litigator. When I started with the firm, I was told I could work out of any office.

I don’t know how to make this request.

My company blames my generation for not being able to hire everyday. “You guys don’t want to work” coming from some overweight, racist, old coaster. I’ve barely taken any days off this year and pick up “skeleton crew” days any chance I get. I was able to work out a deal with my company before I came because of prior experience luckily, but they offer a terrible base salary and sham of a commission structure to new hires + no remote. Then sit here and can’t figure out why…
