What to do?
Hi, just wanted some insight into this and see if anyone else has had similar experiences. Recently graduated into a Corp Fin program and I have been working 60-70 hrs per week since I started, not sure if this is standard but my colleagues in the program in other groups are working 45-50 hrs per week across the board.
Has to to with a particular manager who lives through work and is sending emails and requests 24/7... for the hours vs comp I am thinking about recruiting for banking at this point, the hours would be more justified IMO and I have always found it very interesting compared to my current role. Grateful for a job during this market climate so willing to stick it out but does anyone have any advice/input?
Found myself in the same place out of school, it ended up being extremely difficult to get to IB after graduation with CF on the resume no matter how brief. Never got past a first interview even with bucket shops.. On the bright side, CF ended up working out pretty well so far but you can always leave the company if you're not getting what you want to from the experience.
Hi! Thanks for your input, it is appreciated very much! I am exploring additional options in CF as well as the work is interesting but the co/group is not the right fit for sure.
What do you consider average non month/quarter end hours to be?
Before my manager quit, we were pulling 40 hour weeks pretty consistently outside of budget season or any firedrills, now that its just me its been a bit busier at 50-60 hours most weeks but got promoted for it and getting a Jr. to take off some workload next year.
Hours really vary depending on the group, my previous FP&A role was at a sweatshop but it was an awesome place to cut my teeth with a lot of exec exposure at a place that was growing really quickly and a manager who was really invested in my development so definitely worth grinding it out when there's a lot to learn and people who can teach you.
What don't you like about your current role? (Edit) aside from the hours
