I’ve been at Bain Capital working on the Venture Capital accounting team for 6 years and looking for something with more work life balance. Any recommendations on what to pivot to, potentially outside of accounting, that isn’t as demanding? Appreciate any advice.

The world is your oyster! With experience like yours, you could get hired to do a lot of different things.

Accounting adjacent could be like...a finance role...or you could do some HR type work...in my city of residence, there are a lot of financial services firms, health care companies, and some oil & gas related companies. Any of those might hire you for a number of manager/senior manager type roles.

I suggest talking with some recruiters to get an idea of what types of jobs are out there and the pay range (whatever number they tell you +15-35k is the accurate range)

I just moved to Denver and my AT&T cell service is awful here. What carrier do y'all recommend?

Did the billable hours bonus not get paid out today? Or is it to be paid in the next check?

I’m worried that my voice, communication style, and body language comes across as too effeminate for our straight clients and peers. I’m transitioning to sales now and am insecure that my personality and appearance may hinder sales gen? Client industry is very old school. Can LGBT partners//Ds/MDs chime in how they managed the same transition?

At my uncles wedding in Madrid I remember lying down on the grass in the courtyard after their first dance and crying, my Dad came and saw me, laid down in his suit beside me and asked what was wrong.

“I know my boyfriend wouldn’t dance with me like that at our wedding”

And we just lay there as I cried, and then got up. Had a drink.

Said boyfriend left years ago, and now I have a wonderful man who just asked me what type of dance lessons I want for our wedding next year.

Don’t give up.

So if I ask manager to give me permanent wfh will they agree ?
