Find Balance in Work, Life, and Friends and Travel. Love. Do not fear failure...experience it. Be Brave. Go Your Own Path. Learn. There is Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt and that is ok you will find your way through it. Some will plan through it, stumble through it, laugh through it, feel through it; but you will get through it. If you can find your passion, it's harder than you think.

I wish I knew that after high school and getting into a good college the race never ends until you retire. That relationships more than grades determine your future because of the opportunities they provide but also because of the emotional support, and that if I had problems with depression or unhappiness they would hollow and eat my dreams from the inside.

I moved to Philly from Chicago burbs for my current job in 2017. Love working for this company. They believe in employee growth and put in their time effort and money behind their current employees. 2020 has been though, I still have my job but have never missed my family this much. Since we’ve been working from home, I’ve stayed with family for couple of months. Now I don’t feel like living away from them. Just confused between family and career. Any advice?

I recently took a job with a top tier investment manager, which is a step up in title and responsibilities. I went through the typical “notice” conversations with my current employer. My boss, who was a significant supporter and mentor of me during my time at my current firm, told me that he doesn’t think my new firm is “long term” for me. Anyone ever get something like this before? It threw me off because I was hoping for his support, understanding that it’s tough for him temporarily
