How do you really know when it’s time to leave? I’ve been in my current role for a few years now, and while the paycheck is steady and the hours aren’t unbearable, I can’t shake the feeling I’m stuck. I don’t get much client exposure, the work is repetitive, and there’s no clear path forward beyond “keep doing the same thing.” Some days I wonder if I’m coasting, and other days I worry I’m quietly parking my career in a dead end. The stability is nice, but still.

Since you're asking, it might be time to start casually looking without the threat of a layoff or burnout looming; it becomes significantly harder to leave then. Sounds like you have the time and space to explore what you might wanna do next. Looking doesn't mean leaving tomorrow.

Landed a contract role at Deloitte via MBO Partners for an audit senior role. MBO is making me a W-2 employee for MBO, but I am getting paid $125/hour plus overtime. Am I missing something here or am I about to be making $5K/week (or more with OT)? Anyone have any experience with MBO or doing contract work like this? Obviously way more than I'd make if I stayed at KPMG for busy season.

Considering pivoting into a local MM IB. As my title suggests, my technical skills aren’t as honed as one who has focused on the analysis route. How much of being an Analyst at a smaller IB is technical skill heavy coming into the role? I hold my 7, 66, 24, and am not worried about getting the 79. Any input for how realistic this is? When looking at one particular firm’s career page it doesn’t mention technical skills or modeling once, which led me to believe it may be less important than soft.
