As someone who’s just here for the money, when does it make sense for me to leave? Ex. Is the pain you have to go thru to make SM really worth the marginally better exit ops? (Fresh grad, non-target)

The second you’re not happy, leave. Unless you have financial obligations tying you to the job, then life is too short to just pursue the money. Time is the only thing you cannot buy back. No sense in wasting it unhappy 🤷🏻‍♂️

Get equity refreshes every year. Would it be smarter to cash out $15k-$20k of that to pay debt vs. a HELOC at ~5% given that will still require mthly payments

Need some advice: Last year I left consulting to take a job in industry (a pay cut, but more freedom, WLB). Due to covid I switched to yet another company (same industry). It’s been half a year at the new place and I absolutely hate it. Not the work, but the company genuinely sucks. Considering a) mba for next fall (just as a reset) or b) job hopping yet again. I’m so demoralized that the past two industry jobs have gone so badly. I’m starting to regret not just staying in consulting...
