Why did you decide to leave your first firm job? If you had a chance to jump ship but stayed, why did you stay?

2020 grad M&A/PE Associate in LCOL area thinking about moving to a ECVC/M&A boutique. I generally like the work I do and the people I work with, but I really don’t like the hours and the constant late nights and weekends. Currently on pace for 2250. Boutique I have been eyeing has billable hour requirement of 1500-1600 and comes with a 20-25% paycut. Is this a stupid idea and should I grind it out until I can move in house? Will this ruin my opportunities down the road?

Hi,

Is this a good time to join HP? As they have recently announced 6000 layoffs in 2 years.

I’ve only lost ~5 pounds, but I’ve been working out daily for 4 months and getting much stronger and healthier (started working out intermittently for about a year before that). Yesterday I fit into a pair of shorts that haven’t fit in 4 years 🥳🥳

Does anyone like ID work? Currently doing work at a PI/Medmal plaintiffs firm while in school and trying to figure out where I’ll be happiest post-grad. I LOVE it, but don’t know if ID will provide more security. For context, I had a, albeit, short career prior to law school and will 30 when I graduate in May. Comp and WLB are important given my later start.

Lately, I've been hearing a lot from my peers about how sales isn't a real profession.
I work at a tech startup and it mostly comprises developers. They can't stop emphasizing their importance in the food chain and I can't figure if I'm too humble or they're too arrogant.
This yapping comes from people I've known since college. I have successfully blocked all such negativity but wanted to know if anyone here has faced such scenarios.
P.S: I've already accepted an offer above my expectations

Thinking of getting a CFA; would appreciate recommendations on test prep providers.

My employer has a sponsorship program that the CFA qualifies for. They sponsor 100% but only after 6 months of full-time permanent employment; thus I will qualify in may 2023 (I just started). Should I wait for may for them to pay, or pay the initial costs myself to avoid delaying my career longer? I'm 26 & 1/4th and just graduated college. My new role and future career aspirations are finance / computer engineering hybrid. Current employer is in private banking.

still waiting on lvl 2

It's an understatement

How's everyone doing? Hanging in there?

Registering for the December Level 1. Any suggestions on the best place to get study material? Is there a problem with buying used materials from last year for less from a private party?
