would you leave your firm if they made it clear that supporting you isn’t a priority? i’m a heavy senior managing a lot of engagements (many that are new to me due to turnover) but i struggle to get any decent staffing and leadership has basically told me to kick rocks and figure it out on my own.

i’ve talked to HR and they’ve agreed i’m drastically overextended and not properly staffed, but there’s nothing they can do. they also aren’t offering financial incentive for the amount of stretching

i could understand if this was everyone’s experience at the firm, but there are plenty of new seniors and new managers that have decent staffing despite having less tenure, which feels like a real kick in the teeth.

part of me wonders if i’m just being a brat, but i’m just so demoralized i don’t think i can work here anymore

Did you talk to your career counselor and explain the situation? If not, do that first and understand the real picture…if you sense something unusual, start updating resume and applying before its too late..on the other hand, if they consider you like a valuable contributor to the firm then make sure u take all deserved compensation credit either through performance review process or one on one discussions so yr efforts are well recognized and rewarded besides getting documented..

That’s tough! Onus is on you to decide whether u would want to continue with this and burnt out or find something that suits yr needs

You could switch firms. It’s a compelling reason to leave.

Hi peeps!
Got two offers on the table, who love to hear your advice!

- Finance Business Partner for a late stage (Series D/valuation 3B) startup tech company

- Corp Dev analyst role for a listed niche gambling company

The tech job pays 15k more, but from what I can see will be a cluster and super long hours (has EU stakeholders). Maybe a pipe dream, but I want to have a "somewhat" decent wlb while still growing my career toward strategy and finance.

Thoughts on which one is better?
