I starter an IB job at a boutique about a year ago and I’m reaching a breaking point. My boss, and overall firm environment is extremely toxic. There’s no coaching, no mentorship, no ownership or accountability at the top, among others. Would switching firms help w this feeling or are things more or less the same at other firms?

How big of a boutique are we talking here? Less than 10 or 10-50? Boutiques of the former will all fall under the same duress environment from my experience

Do your absolute best to stay or find an ally or friend there to vent to or support you, but definitely lateral. It can and does get better depending on shop and group. You can be with shitty firm but being with bearable people absolutely is the key to surviving

Hi, fishes.
A quick query here.

I'm going to move from non IT profile to IT profile. Basically I'll be applying as front end engineer in new company. Previously I was working in a BPO profile.
Just wanted to ask if I'll be provided training in my initial months as a front end engineer or am I expected to work from the very first day.
Your comments will be really helpful.

Thank you.

I don’t understand how majority of folks afford rent here. Also, how these luxury apartment buildings stay full capacity. Seems as if majority of Coloradans I meet aren’t raking it in $$$.
