I'm on my way out. 3 months and I leave for Dev Bootcamp and start a career as a web app developer. Want to help small businesses and non profits build high functioning websites and digital tools that are normally cost-prohibitive from big agencies. I don't want to be rich, I just want to be happy knowing that I'm helping people succeed.

All I have to say is it seems we're all trapped in one of those "yes-he-hits-me-but-it-was-my-fault-he-really-loves-me" type of relationship with our industry. It's crazy how much we complain but remain playing the game completely willingly.

Accepting an offer in IBD, lateraling over from consulting. Opportunity of a lifetime for me so don’t want to lose it.
But timing is horrible. I joined the Army Reserves before this opportunity was on my radar. Interviewed over several months, got the offer, but shipping out in 1 month for training for 6 months.
Do I irreversibly shoot my career by joining and immediately going on LoA? I obviously haven’t mentioned it in the interview process. Or will this be forgotten a couple years in?
