Even with a recession, there are larger demographic issues with Boomers retiring, which means a longer term labor shortage. If you can find something better, it's still a great time to make moves.

Why would a recession mean switch jobs? When it hits you have less tenure and are more easily released. If you dont like your job and you find something better paying and you think its a better fit then go, but dont connect it to a potential recession which may or may not come.

I'd like to stay on the transactional side, but am not quite sure what areas I can leverage my corporate and M&A skills in. I was thinking T&E (i.e. business succession planning, etc.)

Would greatly appreciate input from others.

Hey 🐠, curious your thoughts on two roles. 27m finishing non-MBA grad school while working.

Second is a senior manager level growth & partnerships role for a slightly larger company that’s cool but I’m less enthusiastic about. 165k with 20% bonus and equity. Ignoring equity considerations, would you take the job with lower pay if the company is more exciting?
