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?

Not surely it needs to be explained. We all have choices for our career & you needed to try a new direction.

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.

I had a recruiter reach out to me from Google 3 years ago about a role she thought I would be good for. She really advocated for me to be in the role but the hiring managers didn’t feel like I was qualified.
We had a discussion and she gave me a lot of good feedback on how I could be a stronger candidate and encouraged me to reach out to her directly for future opportunities. Fast forward to now, I’ve gained a lot of experience and skills. Should I reach out even though it’s been 3 years?

My firm has a collections budget (80% of your billable rate x 1850 hours) and an hourly budget that must be met in order to be eligible for a bonus. The firm cares very little about originations and will reward someone for making their collections over someone who brings in new work. I missed my collection budget due to some odd timing with a client, but originated more than all my peers so no bonus for me. I’ve been at this same mid level firm for 9 years and it’s all I know. Is this normal??

⚠️Toxicity Alert ⚠️

My previous manager would track us by hours daily, made a fuss everytime anything stretched and guilt us for that and the unplanned leave too unless it was COVID. Hinted him a lot of time, this is problematic but apparently he considered it "standard practice for agile".

Now 8/10 teammates have switched within < 1 year of project start (6-7 months with him) which tbh had good work in our opinion and even team was fun to work with even though none of us ever met in person.

Cmon Illuminati and New World Order, your performance is being questioned here. You were supposed to silence the barking of Trump and Rudy. Will have to select, “does not meet expectations” in year end reviews.
