What exit ops would you recommend to a junior level person who’s interested in a lot of things but doesn’t have a clear career path? Worried about layoffs

“Interested in a lot of things” is too broad. Spend some introspective time to think about the kind of work and industry that really motivate you (journal, write lists down, talk with family, friends, mentors, etc to help you). Think of things you get excited about on a daily basis (data analysis, consumer behaviors, financial nitty gritty, coding surveys, modeling, or away from our line of work like creative expression, marketing, HR, etc). Figure that out first, and then think about potential exit ops that align. Other than that, the reality is you’re still SO early in your career with just 2 YOE that you could join the circus and likely be a-OK overall in life (if you choose to go back to finance or business). Generally speaking, people place far too much pressure on themselves to be like those few folks who make Partner in less than ten years. Reality is, everyone has their own path (triumphs and regrets). Find joy in the journey.
