Going on almost 4 years in ops (~2 non metro, 2 nyc) and skipping retaking lvl 3 to job hunt. Should I just take a new job or spend time/effort on something I want? 0/2 interviewing for gigs I wanted

Trade support is a good shot to get on a desk. Find someone on your desk that can take you under their wing. Keeping trying until you find the job you love. You need to love it as you spend 12 hours a day on it

To clarify, I’ve only interviewed/applied for gigs I was actually interested in rather than shooting my shot all over the place. I kind of hate my job now but am leaning more towards finding the career path rather than taking another job for a year and applying to b school or something. Thoughts?

What exactly is Ops? And what do you want to do?

Trade support for a certain product group - would enjoy pretty much anything that requires me to use my brain and gives me a bbg terminal. Being closer to the investing side of things or marketing products would be ideal but very few seats to go around

It is in appropriate to ask what the compensation for a position is after a first interview if they want you to go on three more and the interviewers on my first told me that was above their pay grade to tell me?????

Seems kind of ridiculous for a business to want to waste so much time to find out after a handful of interviews that the pay isnt aligned with my needs ......

I can see in biglaw not bringing up knowing damn well if you get an offer itll likely be high, but this is a midsize

Does it look bad in my resume to resign after less than a year at a job? writing here the time I’ve spent at each company since graduating college:
- 2 years at company 1 (resigned to move back to home country)
- 2 years at company 2 (resigned and moved back to the US)
- went back to company 1 (it had grown exponentially after 2 years so came back at higher position) (resigned after 1 year to join a startup at director level)
- 6 months at startup and I want to quit with nothing lined up

Hi peeps!
Got two offers on the table, who love to hear your advice!

- Finance Business Partner for a late stage (Series D/valuation 3B) startup tech company

- Corp Dev analyst role for a listed niche gambling company

The tech job pays 15k more, but from what I can see will be a cluster and super long hours (has EU stakeholders). Maybe a pipe dream, but I want to have a "somewhat" decent wlb while still growing my career toward strategy and finance.

Thoughts on which one is better?
