Why does it seem most people always want to switch to something else, e.g another group, another client, another company? Is anyone satisfied with the status quo?

Definitely.

Companies treat employees like a number. Which means they really do close to the bare minimum to get you to stay. They're not offering vacation out it the good of their hearts. They're offering it as a "competitive benefits package". There are always greener pastures and without serious job security and things like pensions, there isn't a huge incentive to be loyal and stick it through the rough patches.

From consulting to investing / lending - anyone has guidance on how to make the move? I’m a consulting manager with finance experience pre-MBA. Thinking about pivoting into investing / lending but struggle to find an angle - assumed that it would be hard to break into investing but lending would be great (all the way from corporate banking to mezz). Any guidance on seeking relevant experience while in consulting?
