… cutthroat? What do you mean by that?
Best way to keep up is to improve, but that takes time. You’ll get better.
Although I certainly wouldn’t describe my current firm as a “suit-and-tie kind of a place” or the atmosphere as “cutthroat,” I have experienced a similar kind of culture shock moving from a close-knit family type of firm to a larger and more impersonal firm. To be honest I hate the new role and the overt lack of personal interest that the firm has towards its employees and its employees towards each other. While I like the higher pay, the days feel longer and the work is somehow less fulfilling.
Yeah, maybe cuttrhoat was the wrong word, but I feel like there's an ultra-competitive and impersonal atmosphere that absolutely wasn't there at my last firm.
