@its.angiechen: this isn’t about one path being better than the other. it’s just a reminder that careers don’t always move in straight lines. sometimes you choose something learn from it and choose again. i started my career in investment banking because at the time it made sense. it felt like the safest next step after graduating so i didn’t question it. i just kept going. at some point i realized i was building a life that didn’t leave much room for me. i was learning a lot but the way i was living didn’t match what i wanted long term. now i work in marketing. my days look different and my energy feels different. it’s not glitz and glam every day but it aligns better with my goals and the life i want. if you’re unsure about where you’re headed try paying attention to what drains you versus what gives you energy. you don’t need a five year plan to pivot. you just need enough clarity to take one honest next step. #corporategirl #investmentbanking #marketing #careeradvice #careerpivots

I did sort of the opposite. Started with journalism (super intense, bad pay), then moved to marketing (not intense at all, medium pay, I was content but was not thriving). Decided I needed more money (I have 2 daughters) and something more challenging, moved to big law. My weeks are now 50-70 hours long, it's super intense, but I love it! I'm also approaching 40 so my social life already looked different. I think the issue is going into a super intense career you're not sure it's well suited to you when you're super young. The good thing is that now we can have more than one career path. It's ok to change and try something else.

I know you said it isn’t about what path is better but… it’s so clear the marketing one is for you you look so much healthier and more alive. I’m in the same spot rn in my first year post grad in busy season and I have quite literally been told o can’t even take a 30 min walk (in place of my lunch break) unless I want to make that time up later when everyone else logs off. I’ve woken up with a worse headache and more swollen eyes each day so far this week and have until may of this. I know this isn’t for me, no amount of money I’m making here is worth being a shell of a human being for half of every year
