Thank you ladies!

How big is your team? Might make a difference but once you get adjusted, restate/build the what and how (and why) with your team. I didn’t realize how much a North Star can help a team, people need clarity and for it to be restated often. Team goals and individual goals as well as weekly or every other week check ins with your direct reports.

I am a 3rd year senior associate in alternative investment tax and up for manager promotion this year. I really dislike the long hours of this job and seeking to make a move. Although I’m not sure i necessarily want to stay in tax. I have a young toddler at home and want to find a job i like, makes decent money, and has decent hours so i can spend more time with family.

Has anyone been in a similar position and made a move? Can you please share your experience? Thanks!
