My goal was to retire young. So I stayed where the vesting was. I’m 55 now, and about to drop the “it’s been fun, but....” letter. Time to go live my life.

These things are not either / or only dual option scenarios. You're in charge of your career and should proactively manage it and work on getting a rewarding job over time and as much as possible. "I would rather" not anything. Look for and work on getting what you want / keep looking / don't settle or think of each as a stepping stone to next opp not end of the road

The second option by far. Networking and connecting with others is invaluable and may propel you to a job with all the right things.

I don’t know why many people get in the habit of “If a job has A, it must not offer B and vice versa.”

I’m guilty of this tbh. I get distracted by how well the company “sells” their benefits in order to achieve retention. They call us “lucky” But you’re right!

...OR take a job at a well-know company, where salary is good, okay retirement benefits, but lots of networking/conferences and professional development opportunities?

I’m sure others have considered this, I really feel burned out on my specific subspecialty. For the most part I do interventional pain management. I am midway through my career, but I cannot in anyway see doing this for the future, it just doesn’t feel like I’m making a difference. I’m honored to be a physician and to help a handful of people, but any suggestions on changing specialties mid life? I have perhaps 15 to 20 years yet to practice.. I’ve looked at concierge medicine, I’m open

UPDATE (RE: SoCal Assistant Controller Interview)

So after two weeks of waiting (and giving up on the idea of getting the job really), the recruiter got back to me.

They said due to month-end and quarter-end close they were busy and couldn’t get back to me as quickly for a “good update”.

The recruiter said the CFO enjoyed our call, she, the CFO, will call me next week directly to “discuss some final things”.

Not sure if Im hired or not, but are there any questions about the job, comp (cont.)

Hi, where or what types of companies should sophomores & juniors apply for next summer (2022) to recruit for IB the following summer (2023)? This summer BBs wrapped up SA IB recruitment, EBs even earlier, and a fair amount of my friends missed out big time.

Also, if a sophomore or junior doesn’t get a finance-related summer internship (I.e tech) and aims for an IB SA or FT position, is it harder to break in?

Appreciate any advice and insight, thank you.
