I fucked up and took SS ER over LO fund.. How do I move forward?
Hey guys,
I'm really struggling and not sure who else to turn to.
I just graduated with an MS in Finance in May. I posted a while back about deciding between a LO buyside gig in SFO vs SS ER in NYC. I ended up going with the SS NYC job for the geography/network but realized I don't really care for this sector and heavily regret not taking the LO offer since that is where I wanted to be longer term anyways.
I don't exactly know what to do at this point since I've only been in my role for about a month. I feel like I need a mindset shift but it seems really difficult to adjust from this fuck up. It seems like I threw away a phenomenal seat and will just be wasting the next 2/3 years trying to get back to where I could have been in the first place.
I don't know what I was smoking passing up LO for SS ER but how do I move forward from this? I feel weighed down by regret every single day I come to work.
It's okay man.. just keep grinding and you'll be back at the LO AM role before you know it
I can very much relate to this but my choice back then was even more stupid. PM me.
Hey man, I was in a very similar situation and chose a TMT seat in SS ER over less glamorous LO seat. Regretted this my first few months just given the complete mindset change to calling quarters, sales/marketing aspects, less WLB, etc.
I had similar feelings but as others have said just keeping grinding it will get better.
Facing this same issue now, would you always recommend going with the LO
Depends on your long-term goals and the quality of the seats. PM me if you want to chat.
keep grinding. there's a lot of good LOs out there. your set up with a good SS ER gig and some real experience could set you up for an even better LO seat in 2 years. keep striving to get there!
My hunch is you will be able to switch to LO given it's early in your career and you landed and offer before. It's just a matter of trying and not losing hope. It will happen
Answer: you don't. You stay where you are and accept you fucked up!
