Haven’t broached to my parents that I resign Investment Bank at the end of this month yet.
Being an analyst at HF is gonna be my next role but i am afraid they cannot understand how it is.
How should I broach this and explain this in a positive way?

I just started like 6 months ago and I'm already recruiting, as is pretty normal, and my parents were kind of confused. My dad even said to not leave because the economy and the brand name of the bank and XYZ other reasons. I think this is a normal response to anyone not accustomed to the industry, and you kind of just have to explain the best way that it's the norm and how career wise this was the smart move

I understand how you feel. Appreciate this advice! Will do so.
