How adequate, relevant, and effective is the training or development at your firm? I feel mastery is getting lost in the ever changing skillset requirements in this decade. How is it sustainable? Anyone else agree at other firms?

Been doing this for almost 15 years and the training I got early in my career was so much better than what young folk get now. Markedly worse, especially since Covid (multiple in person training events per year used to be the norm. Seems now there’s 1 2/3 day session per year if you’re lucky)

It’s not good. My local office’s biggest problem is that staff aren’t progressing and lack of good training is the primary reason. It’s really difficult in this environment to work on training when everyone (at every firm) is short on resources to service their clients.
