I have an opportunity for a lateral move within my company but I’m concerned I’ll be starting over on a new team. Have you done this before and had it pay off? How did you assess the trade offs.

I have a colleague that’s done this and it really paid off for them. They’re currently at the VP level.

I feel like it would be beneficial to work with a different team. More experience in a different area seems like it would always be beneficial.

Lateral moves are underrated — but only if the new team has more visibility or a clearer path to the title/comp bump you actually want. "Starting over" socially is temporary; starting over politically can cost you 12–18 months.
The real question is: does this move put you closer to a promotion, a stronger manager, or skills that justify a bigger external ask later?
What's driving the opportunity — did you seek it out or were you tapped?

Another fake post. OP, how about some background. What type of company? An ad agency? If so are you interested in the accounts you’ll be managing? What motivates you? The quality of work or just the money? Tell us about your situation, this seems a bit too generic to be a real question.

I have a partner who routinely ignores emails or responds to them several weeks later. He has to approve every single document sent to the client or the court, which means you have a physically go to his office to ask him to review something. Half of the time you go to meet with him in person, he’s either on a call or otherwise busy. I find that this basically creates more work and makes meeting deadlines extremely difficult. Is this normal?

I'm currently in the placement process to join an IB group. Personally, I am interested in Lev Finance/Financial Sponsors Group because of the opportunity to build skills and networks to transition to PE. However, I am split between M&A, TMT, and RE because they seem to be very active groups and sometimes recession-proof. Any advice on how to properly research each group and what to consider when deciding about each group? Also can I get some limes to access other bowls?

I’m struggling at the moment to gauge how much I should be getting paid in my position as i feel I’m heavily underpaid for the work I do, which includes managing digital marketing operations across 12+ countries, manage the studio/creatives plus lead on any campaigns and strategies, etc. I’m also remote UK-based although my company is international.
