Just get out if IA asap. You'll be okay since you weren't there that long.

Come to ARA and do a combo of IA and Technical Acct. Or just do tech accounting. Let me know if interested.

Dm me :)

Giving notice next week to someone who went out of her way to recruit and hire me away from my old firm and has been really good to me. She worked for over a year to get me to come over. Now after only 6 months I’m going back to my old firm but in a different (better) group than I was in before. I am dreading the convo and feeling guilty but need to get over it. FWIW I’m 2012 and we are getting crushed with lack of senior people hence more guilt…. Just looking for a little encouragement :)
