What is one piece of leadership advice you've wished you heard earlier in your career? Mine would be to always keep thinking/looking for your next opportunity….Don't get too content/complacent too soon, which I definitely did early on in my career

Something I never paid much heed to early on was to focus more on work/life balance. I think that's especially important in the nonprofit space just because people can get wrapped up in the cause and the work and can really lose sight of their own situation. Looking back, I can recognize times when I should have guarded my own time more closely. Live and learn!

For questions as to why you are looking to leave your current firm.. I am looking to move because for some reason I am hand-held a lot and given simpler tasks, so I am getting bored and want more challenging / much more fast paced environment.

Is there a better way to frame my answer?
