Cutting Ties

Of course won't leave until I have something lined up, but generally speaking, even if you believe in your place, is it time to move on once you feel in your head it's time to move on? Am I answering my own question? 


Generally, I believe in my shop's progress and a bunch of people. During the downturn, I know many people are feeling pessimistic, but generally speaking, till values come back and deals pencil in again, I feel it's a time to weed out underperformers and basically jack*sses.


I don't want to be a quitter, but a decent amount of BB's are starting to hire for Treasury and internal advisory. I feel it's a little lower paying than my current potential on debt, but way easier, and I don't see CRE stabilizing for a couple more years. I get along with my boss, but a lot of the people are all picking everything apart and deflecting blaming others since it's hard. Half the shop is super toxic the other side Is all trying to improve and perfect things in a good way. 

Do people see it turning around sooner rather than later? Stick it out and hope the optimists prevail? 

 

Quas saepe non velit quasi id. Officia fugit natus fugit nostrum doloremque harum facere.
