I was working at big 4 for 3 years and now working in a bank as financial reporting role. TBH, now I feel lost. I feel like my growth has slowed down and promotion has become a mystery to me. I really don’t see myself in the banking industry forever. What should I do?

Working on some law firm applications tonight and it sucks that I know that I am so capable and have a strong work ethic but firms can’t see beyond grades or the fact that I didn’t go to a t14 law school or prestigious undergrad. I’ve worked twice as hard and feel like I’ve barely even gotten half as much. It’s discouraging sometimes especially because I worked so hard with pretty much no guidance (first gen, poc, low-income) to get into college and do well and then get into a t30 law school
