So I walked away from a job that was stressful and I just could no longer stand and it affected my mental health. I took a small break and worked to find a job I thought would be a good fit. Got hired and this job already months in is a bait and switch. I hate to leave this job so soon and I’m trying to make it work but it’s just not. Need some support - who has left a job earlier than a year, and why and did it eventually work out for you in the long run?

Find something else before you leave unless you can afford not to. I’ve done it. Just put consulting on your resume to fill the gap and don’t include the short stint on your resume or LinkedIn.

I’m curious as to how you found you job with the current job market if you don’t mind sharing? There is nothing wrong with leaving a job earlier if it is significantly impacting your mental health and you have the means to so do. You could even leave it off your resume if it’s that short of a stint

First of all, I’m proud of you for walking away from a job in the name of your wellbeing. I have done that as well as left a job in less than a year. And what I always remind myself is (1) you know best what you need - and you’re already clear that it’s not working for you. (2) Even if those roles weren’t right for you, you are employable and you have proof because you keep getting hired. That said, do what you can to make sure your finances are suited for a departure so you *know* you have the option to leave whenever, make a plan / interview / line the next thing up if you can, and go for it.

I have literally been here. I also went 1099 (contract) work. It has its pros and cons. However as a “spin” I would definitely do it

How did you like the contract work because I’m thinking about trying it for a stent to pocket a lot of money at one time type of thing

I left a job about six months and that was the fastest time I ever left a job, but I worked for the company for 10 years so I didn’t count that time to my résumé but anyways, I mean I left because I felt like the manager did not value meand I was tired of sharing my opinion for it to not mean anything and it did eventually work out, but it did take a moment like another year and in my new role I’m still not happy. I’ll probably try something else but that’s all you have to do is try something else. Don’t be afraid because the regret is worse.

I’m looking for some advice on “commission only” salespeople. This is for a startup with a great foundation. It has good branding and a great website. All it needs now is hungry sales professionals with experience to build this startup into something big! I know very little about sales management and need to know if this is a viable option and how to go about getting started. Thank you.

I’m considering ways I can “serve” part time. Aside from being a part time service branch reservist, are there any other interesting programs out there that people know of? My family has a history of service and I want to continue that. I’m 28 years old, if that matters.

Dumb questions but genuinely curious:

1) Let’s say you’re a recent undergrad candidate with no internships on your resume. What’s the deciding factor that you’re qualified for Advisory vs Tax vs Audit? Is it school, gpa, etc.?

2) Why can’t you switch from Tax to another SL without having to pull strings? I understand that there’s a difference in tax vs book experience but why does the Accounting field gatekeep other SLs? It’s not like we’re incapable of learning other areas.
