Thinking about boomeranging back to my old firm. Left on great terms and genuinely miss the culture, type of work, and team, but feel like it may be too soon (less than a year). How soon is too soon to try and go back?

Unless someone leaves on bad terms, A company loves the boomerang story because it affirms their culture for everybody else. They will also use this example when speaking to new recruits. They would want you back as much as you’d want to go back.

It's not too soon. If you left on good terms, reach out. I bet they will be happy.

Also anecdotally, I left PwC and then went back 14 years later. That might be a record. :)

Quickest I’ve seen was a boomerang in 4 months! Most often I’ve seen them at a couple years or even longer. IMO as soon as you know the move isn’t panning out like you hoped, nothing wrong in going back presuming you left on really good terms. I think it also matters if you left for a competitor (little tougher for people to overlook) or to do something entirely unrelated (welcome back no problem).

Our firm told everyone no bonuses this year due to the pandemic. However, people like myself with high utilization received a “bonus” in terms of a gift card. My director notified me of this, but the other day my boss was mentioning how no bonuses this year really sucks. I was told by the director to not mention it to anyone but I figured if anyone knew I got one it’d be my boss. I feel super uncomfortable now because do I essentially lie to my boss because I’m not supposed to talk about it.
