Why u goin back?

Missing the excitement, camaraderie, clear career path, progressive $ increases.
But also not getting very exciting opportunities elsewhere right now and feel like it’s never a mistake to work at MBB from a career perspective.

I had a phone interview early last week that went extremely well. Recruiter said I was their top candidate and asked me to keep them in the loop with my job search and/or if anything changes. They told me I would hear back Thursday.

On Friday, I emailed them asking for an update but didn't receive a response. I believe they had Monday off as a holiday. Should I follow up again? I 100% understand that recruiters and hiring managers are busy. Just really excited about the opportunity.

Lately, a lot of recruiters have been reaching out. I'm mostly happy in my role and w/my company (no longer w/Edelman), but one job caught my eye with a huge salary and title bump at a comparable company, culture and work wise. Interviews are going well - I'm torn about leaving - things are good now but some extra $$ for what seems like a similar experience seems like a no-brainer. Yet, I feel sad about potentially leaving my current company. Anyone have a similar experience? What happened?

When you become a manager how do you get over the feeling of guilt of not being in the trenches with your team? You're no longer creating PowerPoints or spreadsheets - but instead reviewing them. And a large part of your job is just to talk all day, yet still be essentially responsible for everything.

I do sort of feel like at times that I'm leaving my team hanging cause I can't be in the weeds literally at all.
