On my 3rd job in 2 years (consultant for a year, then left for a new company that was impacted by COVID). My new work is not very interesting and can be very pigeon holed at times. The pay and benefits are top notch, which are keeping me here. Is it too soon to jump again for something I’m more interested in or is it better to wait?

Do what you feel is right for your career. As long as you can tell a story about why you left, don’t worry how it might look to an outsider. Just be sure the company you are jumping too is reputable and marketable enough.

I’m close to joining my 3rd firm in 2 years also. My story arc is I’ve progressed through the typical consulting path now (engineer > architect > practice lead > sales) so I’ve been on both sides of sales and delivery now but I’ve reflected that I truly enjoy and it’s being a practice leader since I want to continue growing my leadership skills and become a mentor to teams to grow an a strong, efficient practice. Something to that effect.

What was discussed in the townhall today

It's super frustrating to be "time poor".

That's seemingly just the nature of working in Biglaw.

But every day you have the option to buy back your time.

How do you buy back time?

It's simple—by saving and investing.

And you don't need to be uber wealthy to regain control of your time.

Consider this…

Realistically, making to Director is 2-3 years away and will require sacrificing time with my family that I am not prepared to give up.
