Thats what i sense once i have 10 YOE, if i switch it would be 6th company, (2 years break due to MBA ofcourse)

Any books/self help materials for someone who is constantly worrying (and waste a lot of unnecessary time)? E.g. No matter if i pass or fail an interview, there is always something to worry about.

Now that I signed the offer and is pending background checks, my anxiety is off the roof as it itches closer to my starting date.

I work in advertising as a Media Planning supervisor at an agency. I am exploring switching to PR. I graduated with an AdPR major, have some experience planning events (digital and in person) through work, and worked on the reputation side of my account, advertising positive messaging about the client and reporting on the impact of the message. Always worked on very big brands. How likely am I to land a lateral/higher role in PR, if I’ve never worked in PR per se? I’m looking at ~$130k salary.

I’ve spoken to people at all the MBBs and here’s some thoughts-
1) BCGers have been the friendliest and happiest personality wise
2) McKinsey folks have been helpful but to the point, objective
3) Bain folks have also been helpful but maybe a little bit in between 1) and 2)

Thoughts? Does this reflect the general people culture of each firm or am I misreading the cues?
