If you could redesign your career path, what would you change? I think I would’ve trusted my gut a lot more instead of staying in roles that felt “fine” but weren’t truly fulfilling. I probably would’ve left certain jobs sooner, been more honest about what I actually wanted, and worried less about disappointing other people. What would you do differently?

I wish I would have said yes to international role

That’s such a big one. International roles can feel scary in the moment, but they usually come with so much growth and perspective!

Some govt job with a full pension would have been smart.

All I know is they retired at 55 with full pension and govt medical and I’m jealous! More than one friend. Doing great, no worries about retirement $, traveling everywhere…

I wish I would have found mentors earlier in my career and not limited mentors to people in my exact field. I was always so concerned about imposing on someone’s time. Now that I am a mentor, these are among the professional relationships I value most. Mentoring is incredible rewarding and has helped me develop, too.

I love this. It’s so relatable to worry about imposing on someone’s time, especially early in your career! Funny how it changes once you’re on the other side and see how meaningful those relationships really are.

started off in big4 rather than just a big company like my father instructed me (he is in sales lol)

unsure, it depends if i get this gig im currently interviewing for.. I currently am 30 have worked in FP&A for a few years and (hopefully fingers crossed) going to start working in Consulting in a few weeks. I just had the Round 3 interview today with an MD, and he told me I moved on.. so I am thinking I have one more in person interview remaining!! So, will have to circle back here. Great post btw.

I would have went to New York like I wanted and then go into the administrative path if the music didn’t take off.
