How long does it takes for you to feel confident on what you are doing at FDD? Essentially I am not trying to stay at FDD forever but want to make sure that I learn all the necessary skills before I go.

If you’re in FDD, pull every trick in the book to internally switch to your CDD group. Now is the time to do it when they are short staffed. That will open up countless new opps

To SM1s point, you need to leave FDD yesterday, FDD IS NOT A PATH TO PE/VC (except for the .001% of extraordinarily lucky individuals). I was in the data practice and I’m doing strategy work now much more relevant but even i only dream of a portfolio ops role. Please talk to some people and get mentored on the direction you want to go in

Following this chain - my thought is to try and hop to the MBB/EYP side for growth strategy or transaction strategy and execution

I am looking to make a career change to HR. I currently make 75K as a sales and development coach. I had a recent offer for a state government position in a talent acquisition role but I’d be taking a $25K pay cut. I am extremely over qualified for the position but it could possibly be a stepping stone and gives me the time to acquire SHRM certifications and possibly start taking classes to get my MBA. My question is those currently in an HR role, would this move make sense to you?

Starting a new job next month, and considering taking two days off for kids’ spring break next month. Not sure whether it’s appropriate to request time off for a new job (I would’ve preferred not to take any time off for first three months). I may just be able to just ask for a single Friday off (so 1 day rather than 2 days).

Any thoughts on whether I should proceed with the request? I just came from big law and want to make sure I’m not making a bad impression on my colleagues.
