Is it okay to quit before busy season starts or will I burn the bridge. I’m scheduled on multiple engagements during busy season and I know that the firm will not think twice before firing.

Nope, that’s the perfect time to quit

It’s ok to quit whenever. There’s never an “ideal” time.

It's the time when you should quit, before all that extra work. I started a new job in December and it was perfect timing.

like

“Before” as in “quitting on 12/31” or “quitting next week”? The more time you give your engagement teams to prepare, the less you’ll burn bridges. But ultimately you need to do what’s best for you

You’ll burn a bridge

They will burn your bridge down when they fire you on the spot.

And if your moving to another PA role you’ll screw yourself by missing interim coming in late

You have your answer

Best time to quit so someone else can take it from the onset. Nothing worse than getting into a burning building with a crying baby!

If I am not able to gain admission to Harvard Business School, but wanted a similar educational experience to become a consultant, should I attend Harvard Extension?

I’ve interviewed for several positions AVP and VP roles since October of ‘21 internally with Citi. Didn’t take any of them because it would have been only $8k - $11k salary bumps. For double or even triple the work. So I’m leaving to go from $70k to $235k in September at a competing firm for a VP level role. The moral of the story: hop if you need to. No reason to stick around for low pay and not being compensated fairly by the company that expects “loyalty” from you.
