Felt like doing something else. After you have a bunch of money, the promise of more money isn’t quite as strong as it once was.

They were pushed out due to insider trading or sexual harassment charges

If you are leaving voluntarily, it is because beyond a point, we all do not work for only money or pension. It is about relative impact

They could have concerns about the direction or leadership of their practice or firm. There are many out there who will make it worth your while to leave if they want you.
The reasons you think would make them stay are exactly the reasons they would consider leaving. Once those boxes are checked it’s easier to move on.
Speaking for myself, I don’t spend a lot of time thinking about the money. I spend a lot of time thinking about what I’m doing every day. If I can be made to feel better about that without putting my family in a bad position, why would I not consider that?

Quality of life... pension will still be there... they made partner, as long as they stay away from dope and hoes, pretty sure they’ll be fine.

That must have been a very good offer. Culture or expectations mismatch seems unlikely only four months after passing a presumably rigorous partner selection process.

Friday was complicated. So, I am going to break it down. Nasdaq 100 Futures (NQ) traded to the 9837 level, 32.75 points short of it's 50% HWB short. It then proceeded to sell off like nobody's business to 9846.50, 31.5 points higher than the projected objective for the HWB short. So, if you followed me on the channel, we were positioned for a nice rally at the end of the day. Markets have no memory on Friday afternoon. So, I think we are going up eventually and rally hard.
