Cont. I have known for over 6 months I need a major change to stay in the industry and thought this new project would turn things around; it hasn’t. Time to go

What advice are you looking for? I’d try to stabilize the ship and use the time to find something new to do.

You are spot on. That is the intent.. stabilize and figure out my next plan. But it has been much harder than I thought to dedicate the time to it so wanted better advice to hit the ground running

I missed my collection budget due to some odd timing with a client, but originated more than all my peers so no bonus for me. I’ve been at this same mid level firm for 9 years and it’s all I know.
