I recently took a job with a top tier investment manager, which is a step up in title and responsibilities. I went through the typical “notice” conversations with my current employer. My boss, who was a significant supporter and mentor of me during my time at my current firm, told me that he doesn’t think my new firm is “long term” for me. Anyone ever get something like this before? It threw me off because I was hoping for his support, understanding that it’s tough for him temporarily

Exactly happened to me when I left my job in 2019. My boss was right, is was not long term but the role opened my mind to new things and people and after 18months I moved into something even better. Broaden your horizons and don't wait for someone else's approval. Learn to trust your gut!

Thank you for sharing! I appreciate this

It did happen to me...when I quit, they basically implied I'd boomerang back. Tbh, they were right in some ways...it wasn't the right place for me culture-wise BUT I also knew that if I had stayed with my old job, I would've been underpaid and overworked. I didn't stay long at my new role bc it actually opened up a lot of other opportunities for me.

FYI I don’t have kids yet but thinking about it and the lactation room situation just bothers me for some reason...

Hi Everyone,
Any suggestions on networking in the private finance sector?

Networking is hard enough working from home but I know how important it is to make those connections.
