I put working for tobacco companies in the same category as corporate lawyers for oil companies.

Agree that many big tobacco brands are marketed at kids. Would disagree for many others (literally any regular brand of cigarettes in nondescript packaging hidden behind store shelves, with very little advertising allowed compared to alcohol. Ever seen a vodka ad with beautiful young people partying, or a craft beer ad showing college students having the time of their lives? Wonder who those might be aimed at.).

And sorry to say but you could not be more wrong with the second half of your statement. Alcohol is consistently found in studies to be at least as physically addictive as nicotine, not to speak of the negative external effects (physical violence) that are completely absent in nicotine.

Did a JUUL exit ever look hot?
As soon as kids started using it, the ethics went 📉

It was real hot on here last year. Lots of people comparing exit ops at FAANG against juul 😂

Is it more worth it to go into FDD at a regional firm now, or hope that my current big 4 will transfer me come spring 2021?

I'm kind of in the mindset of only doing FDD at big 4, otherwise I'll go straight to industry. Am I being too down on mid-market FDD experience and the related exit ops?

Also, I can't go the route of doing FDD at a different big 4. Already got rejected by all of them cause I'm not in audit (but have CPA).

Would you rather try to get promoted/climb the career ladder or try and grow your side hustle into a larger enterprise while working your day job?

At the same time I’m also pursuing a side hustle that can be lucrative if done correctly but comes with more risks. Would you 1.) try and get promoted while pursuing a side hustle or 2.) stay in current role and focus on side hustle?

You’d think that since HSV-2 affects 20% of Americans and likely a higher % of gay men, there would be less taboo but it’s hardly ever talked about. Anyone else in my shoes?
