I don’t play politics and I’m super behind in my career. In my last firm I felt like an idiot because people were so much smarter than me and I thought how I could never compete with them without being dirty and kissing 🍑. I decided to work on myself and acquiring knowledge instead of playing politics. I came here and it’s all politics and doesn’t matter what you know. As a result, I’m behind in my career. It always shocks me but then I wonder why when I look at my colleagues…they could never compete with me and win.
I hate playing politics and I will probably never get ahead because I choose not to.

My team was really small so it didn’t have any other associates. It was only an analyst and associate on the junior team
Within the broader group I didn’t really have any issues with associates but working with them directly could be different
