Industry can be a double edge sword. Both agenda driven and good personal development. I remember someone on here saying getting to a certain point in a career is a “war of attrition”. Remember that because as much as you are there to support others and have a good culture amongst peers guard yourself and still keep your own goals and values close to yourself.

Lol, unfortunately untrue of my banking days.

Absolutely!! And remember why you joined the firm! Don’t make comparisons with former organization. It’s an adventure and don’t overthink about it!

“Industry” is a generic term used by consultants to describe any company that isn’t consulting. Which is 99.99% of jobs. It’s hard to give advice when the question is effectively “I got a new job. Any tips?”
