Analysts/Associates own a dog?

Curious if any young guns out there also take care of a pet?

I have a golden retriever and always find time to take him out get him exercise. I'm not NYC IB though... So I'm sure I'm "privileged" in that sense.

 

I have a Doberman and he requires tons of exercise, but I work remotely full time (just my agreement not from covid).

Definitely wouldn’t recommend a dog unless you’re around most of the time or have a spouse who is.

 

I always grew up anti-cat...they skeeved me out... but it was a package deal with my (now) wife. I had dogs and still look forward to getting a dog someday but... I absolutely love this cat- so much less work than a dog- can basically be left alone for up to 48-72 hours. She is adorable and their personalities are really something once you've spent enough time interacting with them.

I think I could have handled having a cat during my Analyst years but it's not fair to a dog unless you have someone else to share the care duties with you given the unpredictable hours you will be working (usually in the office under normal circumstances obviously).
