Smile and wave. Industry is too small to make enemies.

I told them that I knew it was financial and not personal- true in my case. Left on a positive note. May come back and freelance. I don't believe in burning bridges. Too small of an ad community. Always take the high road bc word follows you.

Always smile and wave goodbye. By the time you need to look for a new gig, the place will have changed anyway.

If they wanted your feedback, they would have asked while you were still there. Be nice and professional, don't burn bridges. You might make yourself feel momentarily empowered by really letting them have it, but they aren't going to act on it, you're not going to work there--at least until a few years have passed--so don't put a whole lot of emotional investment into it.

I think you can definitely give some feedback but not in a way that will burn bridges.

Lol thanks everyone 😊. This exit interview will be a good exercise in maintaining restraint. Picture telling your sociopathic ex boyfriend "I think you're great, I'm just not ready for this type of commitment yet." Just keep reminding myself how excited I am for my new job, new office, new life!

Be honest, but friendly. They can't fix it if they don't know it's broken.

I'm not hung up on PE/buy side exits, not closed off but nbd. Would be just as happy to stay and make MD (or exit into corp dev if I want an easier life when I'm older)

My dilemma:

I'm at a LMM investment bank. Can get crazy sometimes, but otherwise chill. Typically done around 7-9 pm, had maybe three 1 am nights. Haven't worked a weekend in over a month. Fridays almost always done at 5 pm.

Have an offer at a reputable MM bank but probably pretty sweaty. Worth the move?

We Indians are so poor we can't think anything else except money. Whole Fishbowl is all about YOe and Salary. No one interested about if any company doing any innovation or not. B-Tech colleges put ads with Package and Campusing only. Almost 99% Indian YouTube thumbnail is like "5 lakh to 40 lakh", "Interview Experience in bracket 50Lpa" etc.. Hardly we can see Foreign Editorial things marked with Packages.
