I’m at a huge standstill in my career. Looking for any advice or tips !
I graduated Dec 2017 with a finance degree. I left my first job after 6 months after a new job offer and sadly the new job was not all gold so quit after a year in 2019 (harassment and toxic environment). I have been unemployed since. I had some interviews but no call backs. Don’t know if I should go back to school or what to even do at this point. Had my resume redone as well and interview coaching.

Nothing some debt can't fix

Well first off you should figure out what you really want to do. Alot of people get stuck and chose to go back to school. That is fine if it is going to help you pivot into where you want to be. Personally, if your not getting the type of work you wished you had then take a look t your resume. Also LinkedIn is vital and people are sleep on it. You have to figure out what you want to do then put your focus on bringing that out in your profile. Look into contract gigs as well. Your resume needs to scream hire me. We all get there it's a matter of how to get pass that feeling of not having enough. You are enough. You just need to figure out what makes you stand out. Happy hunting.

I feel like I’ve lost myself since joining McK. My whole world has become about work. I love my job but I’m not the same person I started and I feel I don’t connect with my friends and family the way I use to. I’m not sure if I’ve grown, or lost a part of myself. Is this growing up or do I need to make a career change?
