PwC 2 you sound like you just went to Discover

Pros: slight bump in pay, only working until 5 o’clock most days of the week, that 80-year-old lady in accounts payable is really nice and brings cookies

Cons: doing the same account reconciliations every month for the next 3 to 5 years, waiting for the accounting manager to die or get promoted so that you can get promoted, having to physically be at an office every single day for eight full hours

As with anything else in life, it depends on your personal goals and values. Where do you want to be in 5, 20 or 50 years from now? You gotta think of your next move based on that. Unfortunately a lot of us lack a sense of direction and let the wind carry us wherever. @PwC1's cons might be pros to others (e.g. those who find meaning in other aspects of their life beside their career). Point being everything is relative and is dependent on what YOU find meaning in. Don't let society's expectations of where you should be at a given point in your life define you.

Any advice on shifting from association law to commercial real estate in FL?

I've been applying to jobs for months but every position wants at least 2yrs of experience in real estate transactions, usually way more. I'm at 1yr+ doing HOA/condo work but have had no opportunity to do real estate transactions like I expected. Seems like the only way to get the experience is to have nailed a big law gig right out of school and get put into that practice.

Quick question.
I was a contractor for a big company and they just let me know that my last day is December 30th. I got this position thanks to a recruiting company that has been great and gives me benefits.
Should I:
- Continue working with the recruiting company, hoping that they will find another position for me? (as they told me they will, and when they applied me I started working with my current company within 2 weeks)
- Work with the recruiter + apply for jobs on my own?

They offer me 60% more money than my permanent role. Circa 2000 dollars every month in my pocket

However, I am worried if I accept the tech role and I do not become permanent I will be looking again for a job in 12-24 months and my CV won't be showing a managerial position. Won't be showing any progress.
