BCG1: you mind adding a little context to this? Are the exit opps purely from a brand recognition perspective? Or are there certain skills/niche work that you couldn’t get at the previous firm?

curious where everyone switched to (if comfortable sharing)!

I’m a very experienced veterinary assistant who has been doing this job for about 4 years in total however because of my skill level I would say I am more of an unlicensed technician.

Any helpful advice?
