I’ve been in commercial banking for 3 years and feel like I’ve hit a learning ceiling. For those who transitioned to corporate finance or FP&A, what was the biggest skill gap you had to address?

Biggest difference to me was the shift of being on the inside instead of the outside. You are helping drive the business from the inside, instead of evaluating it from the outside. A learning curve and change, but manageable.

I met this guy online a month ago, we see each other once a week, and I find myself like him a lot, I feel more and more smitten with him (no sex at this point). We are not exclusive, and I think it’s early to have the talk anyway. Another guy matched online asked me out on a date, and I feel guilty about going. Can someone help me overcome the guilty feeling I have? 🥲

Any recommended resources for a mid-level lit associate looking to develop some skills in health care transactional work? I'm primarily a med-mal attorney and several clients have small opportunities on the MA side that I'd like to be able to assist with. The firm does not currently have a specific transactional healthcare practice group so I'd need to go out of the firm for mentorship in this area. For now, I'm just looking for good basic foundational resources.

Appreciate it!
