Growth? Opportunity?

Raising new fund(s) and need people. Or all the associates quit. Much more likely the former and not the latter. Though bonuses should have just been paid out...

Additional Posts in Consulting Exit Opportunities

I left my 1st job out of college 2 years ago. I know people who went back. And lately I’ve been considering it a lot. It was a small federal contracting company. The client was amazing. I left because I wanted to explore what a bigger company had to offer. Would it be weird to reach out to see if there’s any possibility of coming back? Left on a great note and am still in touch with a lot of people there. I just really miss the team, client, low stress, flexibility (alternative work schedule).
