Career Resources
Physical fitness can significantly help in high-intensity jobs like being an analyst or PM. Based on the most helpful WSO content, here are some key insights:
Improved Mental and Physical Performance: Maintaining good physical health contributes to better job performance. Feeling physically fit can prevent you from feeling mentally and physically drained simultaneously, which is crucial in demanding roles.
Stress Management: Regular workouts can help manage the stress and intensity of the job. Exercise is known to release endorphins, which improve mood and reduce stress levels.
Focus and Productivity: Staying active can enhance focus and productivity. Many professionals find that even short, high-intensity workouts or consistent movement plans help them stay sharp and maintain energy levels throughout the day.
Practical Tips for Busy Schedules:
Long-Term Benefits: Staying disciplined with fitness not only helps with immediate job performance but also prevents long-term health issues that can arise from sedentary lifestyles.
In conclusion, incorporating physical fitness into your routine, even in small ways, can be highly beneficial for managing the demands of your job and improving overall well-being.

Absolutely helps manage stress and makes you feel better overall.
David Sourdough, good point. Ever since I started lifting my life has changed
It can help, but its not as important as sleep.
A story I've told a few times on WSO. At my first day of IB orientation, they had a dozen modules throughout the day on how to do different things, like how to spread comps etc.
On our agenda, it listed the names of the bankers presenting each module. But it didn't show their titles. By the looks of them, I assumed they were all around VP level or even higher. You can imagine my shock when I later found out they were all 2nd year analysts. A bunch of 24 year old kids who looked 35. Every single one of them.
So what's unique about IB analysts that can create such a consistent and extreme result? It's the lack of sleep. It's not lack of exercise . . a decent % of analysts manage to get to the gym reasonably often. It's not poor diet, because a decent % of analysts manage to always order healthy stuff. The one thing they have in common is not getting sleep and the cumulative effects of that.
If you want to look 24 when you turn 24, make sleep your 2nd biggest priority after work. There will be days when you're sleep deprived and get out of work at a decent time . . the adrenaline rush of getting some free time will make you forget your sleep deprivatin and you'll want to go out with friends, hit the gym, stay up watching shows etc. In those moments, choose sleep. That's the best advice I can give anyone.
This is great advice. I had a period of prioritizing exercise over sleep and didn't work out well for me
How do we get off work late and then immediately go to sleep? I find it impossible to sleep after work
I've dealt with this a lot. While there is no silver bullet, I've found all of the following to each be a bit helpful so its a good idea to do all of them. Fortunately, they have other benefits beside sleep so you can get some ROI from checking all these boxes. In order of importance:
Two things I don't do:
guys come the fuck on.
David Tepper is a contender for the goat
Klarman had an epic run
mens sana in corpore sano
Yes, I believe it is quite beneficial. Moving your body a little is more important than becoming extremely fit. Regular exercise helps me think more clearly and feel less anxious. It makes a difference, even a few times a week. It's definitely worth a try.
