What’s your focus?

My focus right now is to find a position that really caters to my skill sets and still provides room for growth and development

Are you trying to switch fields?

I feel that 100%… I been studying for the Series 66 and been asking if it’s worth it or not.. when Tech field paying way more with flexibility from outside looking in

Going to need some more info, OP what do you want to do next?

Honestly i still want to be in finance because it feels like it’s my home in a sense but if there’s no company that’s willing to take me on without me having to sacrifice then i might consider switching career paths.

I'm having a hard time setting up systems/ process to educate people about the existence of my business and showcasing the importance of the products. I’ve done social media channels, revamped the website 4 times and even spent a little on digital marketing ads. Any advice on what I may be doing wrong or something else I can try?

The hiring manager didn't want to move forward with a candidate because of his gut feeling. The candidate had the experience and skills necessary but couldn't put his finger on why he didn't want move forward.

I smell bias all the way

Can you name a firm (preferably NY office) that lets its associates work from a different country with no issues? The mid-size firm I’m currently at has been very flexible during covid but I’m looking to change firm (biglaw). Since my family is abroad I find it extremely valuable to be able to do this (I did this even before covid for a couple of weeks, twice a year). I’ve heard firms like Latham and Paul Weiss don’t allow it for tax reasons.
