Curious to get FB's thoughts on which of the 3 paths forward you would take. Currently at a crossroads and looking for independent & simplistic perspectives. Please like the option you would take.

Yup, this.

Stick around for another 12-18 months in consulting while identifying/ vetting/ and acquiring an existing small business, ultimately making 3x+ the other options, annually

Pursue Partnership at Big 4

YAAAAS SO MUCH THIS 👏🏼

Looks like you got your answer

Confused by option 3. Sounds like you’re assuming you’ll make 3x the amount of the other options even though you don’t know what company you’re buying. How did you come you that did income assumption?

Drastically so P1.

What type of business would you acquire in option 3? Is it in an area you have expertise? Guaranteeing 3x the other options assumption is assuming a lot

If that’s the case, then it’s a question what life style and type of reward do you prefer. Do you feel more fulfilled to build up a business and make more $, but will be long hours and deal with all things/headaches of running your own biz, or do you prefer being a partner of a much larger firm, fly around the world/country working on a variety of projects, but have to please partners/clients and put in long hours to make it there and continue things of similar nature to make your sales numbers each year, or somewhere in the middle running a company and enjoy time with family. Also, if the making of the product has overseas implications, I would factor in the trade uncertainties in the near future

Tell me your craziest experience working with a TV network. Here comes mine:

I'm American, but my family is mostly Colombian. I was told my aunt and cousins would come here for 2 weeks. I discovered they were going to be paid to appear in a famous Hispanic TV show, where a "judge" receives a case, hears the plaintiffs and defendants and renders a verdict. But of course, it's all fake and payed 😂 turns out she wanted me to go there (even though I don't work for that TV network) so she's sure she'll be paid at the end of the show. Wth did I just do.

What is a good compensation for Lead with 10 years of IT experience to move to Canada?

Which is best? A law degree or a master's in international relations? Those are where my interests lie. I keep reading that JDs are valued in compliance but am wondering if a different graduate program is better for my goals. I already plan to obtain the CAMS certification. Thank you!
