Hi everyone! I am 22 and have been in finance a little over a year now. The biggest struggle for me has been building relationships/bonds and finding people in my field with similar interests as me. Just curious to know if anyone else has started young and was able to actually have a social life with other young, black professionals in their career.

Currently in tier 2 management consulting and recruiter reached out for Business Integrity, Associate role at Meta. Is this role entry level? Base ~102...tempted because it's meta but not sure it would be a step backwards career wise?

I had a non traditional path out of law school because I graduated at the height of the Great Recession and my mother was seriously I’ll with cancer. I’ve worked for 2 big four firms in internal positions within compliance/regulatory for a total of 6+ years and am ready to make a move. What is my next best one? Is it totally impossible for me to go to a law firm?

Long drive tomorrow. Does anyone know of any on demand CFP continue education courses out there? I’d love to knock out 15 hrs of CE on this drive, if able. 🤦‍♂️🔫🤢
