Hi All, new to IFS! Excited. I’m a mom so this transition is LONG over due... coming from financial services advisory. Any advice on how to make this a good experience and quirks I should know about?

Welcome to IFS! IFS is really varied, diverse teams. So advice will be team specific. A lot of the things that are true in advisory probably hold true for my team (network, get into good graces of more than one partner, etc). Another thing I would say is that you need to take the lead on setting work-life boundaries. If you don't do that early on, it's easy to get pulled into a thousand directions.

Thank you! Great advice/reminder re getting to know more partners. I can already see that establishing WLB is something of an effort, I thought it might be culturally normal but am seeing that it’s not... bummer. But I’m happy that no partner can say it’s a “client deadline” so we need to do it now.

Deciding on a career path

I feel like my brain works like a consultant, and I would enjoy consulting, but I also looove all things finance & investing. While I don’t necessarily have extensive experience in the field (most of what I know is self taught, my major is accounting), I want to get involved in it somehow and learn more.

I currently work in audit, I’m not sure what exit opportunities are an option for me for the investing/finance industry. Feel like chances are are slim. Any advice?
