Take a chance and it’s the best time to do it. You can always come back to financial services if it doesn’t work out.

Agree! sometimes you gotta move away to see if you really liked what you were doing before or not and those jobs are always going to be around. Best of luck OP!

Sorry I don't have experience with that, but curious as to why you want to get out? I was thinking of transitioning into a capital markets role.

Not weird at all. And thank you!

It's my first month in a new job as Product Owner. I went from a company that digital product development was their secondary focus along with consultancy services, to a company that their only focus is the product. The difference in scale as well as the different domain, certainly feeds into my imposter syndrome. What are the things I should focus to achieve within my first few months at the new job?

Had my virtual on-site for an S&O L3 role 3.5 weeks ago (NYC, 5 YOE). I haven’t heard back on a decision yet, and was wondering how long it typically takes? I also know that I was one of the very first candidates to interview for this specific role, and there are atleast 2 more people scheduled for onsites. Does the recruiter typically wait for all candidates to finish their onsites before communicating a decision? Or if I haven’t heard back yet, it’s probably a reject?

Considering joining a small 50-person company as the only attorney (prior attorney is retiring). (I am currently in-house at a F50). For others who have done the same path, what surprises did you have when moving from a large company to a small one?

For example, it sounds like I should not expect a document management system, based on a prior post in this bowl. I’m guessing expenses like state bar fees and cell phone are not reimbursed.

Any advice on things to expect (or not expect)?

I am in the process of gathering more info, but it is tempting to ask about pivoting into product management. What would you do in this situation?
