I’m starting at the new firm soon & want to leave all the toxicity I experienced in my old team behind. I finally feel like a bird that is being freed from the cage…I realize that I unintentionally turned into my manager’s slave over time because of fear that i might be fired. I lost motivation for creativity there, because my manager would always stab me in the back. Any tips on how to get out of old mindset? I’m afraid I’ll start at a new place with sam expectation of toxicity from new manager

Congratulations on your new job. Forget what happened in your previous role. Go there with a positive mindset because it’s a chance for you to start over. Listen more than you speak and ask lots of questions. Create a 30, 60, 90 day plan to get very well acclimated to your team, stakeholders, and processes. Build a better relationship with your boss, weekly touch points, and take initiatives when you settle.

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️

Horrible anxiety about considering a new job....
I was one of the big firm stealth layoffs in covid and joined a boutique firm in Sept. They came sort of close to matching my salary but I moved to SoCal and have an opportunity to jump back in to big law and get $100k raise. The people at the small firm are so nice, but hours are nuts and if I’m going to work this much, I might as well get paid more, right? Is it too soon? How do you tell them when the managing partner took you under his wing?

Why do people in m&a tax make so much more than regular / international? Is the work that much harder / more challenging? It seems like they mostly just coordinate with other teams. Basically like jack of all trades but master of none?

Part of me thinks they can charge higher fees because they’re on a transaction and seen less as a “cost” center. On the sell side they’re helping generate revenue and on the buy side they’re doing the same, although not immediately
