[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So what is the best plan if you can’t slide into Big Law/Big Tech/Medicine? Work corporate and try for executive suite, but if by 40 not on clear trajectory angle for a government job? Just go for government job early if you don’t want to be an executive?[/quote] Yes, just go for government or healthcare, or open a business.[/quote] Consider private companies. They are not subject to the whipsaw of Wall Street analysts and quarterly earnings calls, so there is less of hiring followed by downsizing waves “because everyone is doing it”. Less MBA fads too. There are quite a few people with 25+ years tenure where I work, but you have to fit with the culture. [/quote]
