I work for a creative consulting agency and I’m unsure what I want to do with my career. I’m a 25 female living in nyc. I make slightly less than $60k and I’ve been working since August 2019. Not sure if I should try and go for an MBA, get into a traditional management consulting firm, switch careers altogether.

Big decision to make. I’ve busted my ass at a big law defense firm for 4 1/2 years, and have been promised a partnership in October (constantly working Weekends, billing 220 hours per month). I have a 3 month old and would like to see her grow up. The shareholder has consistently promised that “help is on the way,” but it comes in new first year Associates that I train up (and love mentoring them to do so), but inevitably after 1-2 years, they leave. I’m drained and fed up, what to do?

I had to layoff a great person from my agency. The pain in her eyes was crushing and I think it’s the last straw for me here. Having to let people go for performance is one thing, but this...
