How bad does it look to quit my job without anything else lined up? I’m 28 with 175k saved up and have 5 years of work experience at a top rating agency (at S&P). I’m honestly a bit lost and just want to travel for 3-6 months and then pivot to something else. I’m just burned out and I think that quitting and taking a beat would really help. I can’t take a sabbatical and still be employed because I already took time off for health reasons.

I’ve recently been promoted from a Senior to a manager, I wanted to see what the transition for others has been around this. What to look out for, tips/tricks.

I am a 7,63, insurance administrative associate with 12 years in the industry. When did you know you were ready to move toward an advisor or para planner role. I am a mother of two young children as well and I don’t want deprive them of having a present mother.

What are the long term career prospects of SAP? If the earning potential of Python/Data science is higher, then should freshers try to move to those fields or is there any merit in sticking to SAP in the long run?

Aspiring to be management consultant

I don't hold a MBA degree, but have 3 years of rich experience in Business Planning & particularly S&OP

All this to say, might you have time to guide me

Should I keep my new job or boomerang back to my old job? The new job pays 50K more base, 25K more bonus and I get 40K a year consulting for the old job so around 115K difference in cash (not counting equity).

So why even consider going back to the old job? The new job keeps me busy 12+ hours a day while the old job is a coast at 1-2 hours a day max.

My idea is not to enjoy the free time and sit on my *ss, but to figure out side gigs, passive income streams or even start a startup. (more)

I want to start a thread about important questions to ask before accepting a job offer. For example, before accepting a job offer I will generally respond to the offer asking the following questions:

1. Health insurance (insurer name, deductibles, my portion of the premium)
2. 401 K (company match?)
3. Bonus structure
4. Required billable hours
5. My office hours
6. Partnership track
7. Will I have an assistant/paralegal?
8. Will I have my own office?

Please add to this!

Wow I am so tired. I’m 12, almost 13 weeks and the fatigue has just hit me like a ton of bricks these past few weeks. It’s making it hard to focus or put in effort with work. Normally, this behavior would bother me… but I kind of don’t care? Anyone else relate?

What percentage of partners and mds do you think were born rich with connections and a network? I feel like it would be hard to make it and be successful at that level without having a built in network of family, friends, and other connections that you can rely on/ bring in to the firm.

Why do senior folk (typically in leadership roles) truncate their experience at junior levels on LinkedIn to only feature the highest title that they achieved during their tenure at x agency?  

E.g. 6 years as an Account Director, despite it being their first gig in advertising/ever.

Hi Fishes,
Can someone please share the work culture and work life balance at the promotions team in Paytm

I am currently a year from finishing my PhD and was looking at VC's as a career path because I like to do meta-analysis of different climate change techs. I networked with VCs and one of them was receptive but didn't have the budget currently for a full time hire. They said they'd be interested in working with me to do a research paper over the coming semester, and was wondering if I could leverage this into a full time offer?

Is a white paper with a VC going to be attractive on my CV?

I was promoted early this year from an assistant “hourly” role to a managerial “salary excempt” role, but my old job hasn’t been replaced and it’s been 5 months. It’s an unfair workload and assisting someone else takes up so much time that I can’t learn and develop in the managerial role. And I find myself constantly working overtime and not getting paid fairly, even with the pay raise I got when I was promoted. I want to send my employer an email saying they’re in violation of FLSA.

I report to a VP who also handles HR. I am working on building FCPA policies and a compliance program. Today she told me she needs to check with an outside attorney to see if CA law will cause issues for us. . . I just need to vent. I’m trying to figure out why is she paying me, but then again I totally shouldn’t care!! I’ve learned my lesson. Don’t report to someone with no legal background.

Planning a trip to Rome and Naples with day trips to Tivoli and Pompeii. Is 1 week enough? I feel like reading through 3/4 day Rome and 2 day Naples itineraries, the trip seems rushed. I have unlimited PTO but my SO is limited in time (but luckily he can work extra hrs and then use less PTO). I would say max we could do is 1.5 weeks but adding on 3-5 more days seems almost too much? Thoughts? For reference, I did Venice-Florence-Rome in a week and it seemed okay but it also wasn’t as planned out
