A little bit of a rant: I was holiday shopping at the mall and was overwhelmed with the amount of people purchasing item from high end luxury stores. My salary would be in the top 5% of individual earners but I would feel anxious making purchases at high end luxury stores. Where are these people getting the money from and how are you so chill about making such high end purchases? P.S. this is not work related but I would like to rant like this on some app which is not abt work. PlsRecomend?

Pls critique this cover letter: Having launched my career in venture capital, where my work centered on deal analysis and investor communications, I have sharpened my interests around one direction. Wealth management appeals to me for its breadth of discipline, the entrepreneurial upside it offers, and the opportunity to grow alongside the families and individuals at the heart of the practice.

I’m seriously considering quitting the corporate world entirely and just starting my own fractional CFO shop for small businesses. I’m tired of making partners rich while I grind away on spreadsheets that nobody actually looks at. I have a few leads, but the thought of having to do my own marketing and sales is terrifying. Is it better to build the side-hustle while working full-time, or do you just have to burn the boats and go all-in to make it work?

I saw this on X and thought it was worth bringing here to discuss. Most often we are always stuck on the outer level of marketing and we have first established our Why. Big companies like Apple, Disney, Nike etc have all established their Why, so it makes the marketing so much easier. At my company our leadership team has an identity issue, making it hard to do the How, What, and Marketing. Where does your company excel and where does it struggle?

I’m bringing a client (public company) to the firm (200ish lawyers) for a matter (about 1MM legal fees) that completely outside my expertise. It was due to my personal relationship with the legal team. Unfortunately, I’ll be leaving the firm to start my own firm. I can’t bring the client with me because there is no way that I can do that type of work. But I still want to find a way to capitalize on that opportunity/relationship. Any thoughts?

My background is 20yrs of sales experience, the last 8yrs being in software sales. I have been successful where I am at currently, meeting and exceeding quotas as well as earning 3 presidential trips. But as most know in the sales industry, it is a very competitive market with a lot of ups and downs. I would like something with more consistent pay and a business outlook. I have been working remote for 6 yrs so that would be ideal but I am open.

Transactional junior in Big Law that wants to switch to Lit. Firm MP not willing to allow switch due to recent loses in our transactional practice group. Am I crazy for thinking of going to a boutique lit firm that does white collar, ID (products liability and more higher end ID), and some regulatory work? The lateral market is just not there right now, but I’m on my way to year 3 and I don’t want to be stuck in my practice area.
