"I didn't actually like who I was becoming outside of work. Like I could play the game. I knew how to play the game, I knew how to run the meeting. But then I just said, wait a minute, is this who I want to be? And it wasn't." Something about this quote resonated with me very deeply, I've often wondered the same thing. I've accomplished so much that I should be proud of but I can't help but wonder about everything that I've sacrificed on the way there... Would 20 year old me be proud of who I am today? I'm not sure I'm confident in the answer.

Another problem w/bro culture is they can’t handle women the same tough style. As Peggy Noonan says there’s a narrower band of acceptable behavior for women. MG is lucky she had a different style and could forge her own path.

waiting on a final written offer, messaged the recruiter yesterday but received an automatic reply stating she won’t be back until tomorrow. Email stated to reach out to another recruiter for immediate assistance so I did. I emailed her , she said these offers do take some days because of the Hr and HM has to sign it. Once that happens my recruiter should send me the offer. Either on the day she comes back, but by the end of the week. I am going stir crazy, I really hate my current job. Help…

Is it more worth it to go into FDD at a regional firm now, or hope that my current big 4 will transfer me come spring 2021?

I'm kind of in the mindset of only doing FDD at big 4, otherwise I'll go straight to industry. Am I being too down on mid-market FDD experience and the related exit ops?

Also, I can't go the route of doing FDD at a different big 4. Already got rejected by all of them cause I'm not in audit (but have CPA).
