I’m 24 years old making $140k a year with potential to make $170k-180k by June/July 2022. I am somewhat into the work I do (Big4 M&A tax) but I have a strong urge to quit and either start my own business, or look for other higher-paying work, although not sure I have many options. I feel like the longer I stay on this team, the more difficult it will be to move, yet i continue to seek out higher paying alternatives. Should I force myself to be content with my situation?

Work hours are pretty terrible. I work between 40-80 hours a week, most of the time late at night. Its typical to get pings and emails at 8-9pm asking for work to get done. Meetings are always scheduled at 4-6pm because more senior folks are busy during the day with calls, so oftentimes spend mornings twiddling my thumbs and then having to grind late into the night. Anxiety levels are typically p high

B4 Tax pays that well?

Deals does. My team is all lawyers, I somehow managed to squeeze my way in.

Be on the lookout for Attribution Bias in yourself & on your team. It's a hindrance to creating a high-performing, inclusive culture.
