Advice on weekend sleep
Hey guys, so I usually work 7am to 4am from Mon-Th, and 7am to 11pm Fridays. Saturday tend to be protected, so what are your sleeping tips during that time? Been trying to regain as much energy as possible without messing up my circadian rhythm.
Where tf do you work why are you putting in that many hours
Agree 7am start is weird or an exaggeration
also - you should lateral your hours are not normal
Nah bro you should be asking for advice on lateraling. That's crazy
7am-4am regularly would mean you have 3 hours for sleep per night (realistically, including getting ready for work, commuting, and ready for bed, you'd get under 2 hours). You would not survive that, physically, for more than a couple weeks without serious health issues.
This is also 100 hours per week in 5 days which I've never heard anything remotely close to that outside maybe a one week sprint, even at the worst shops. Hard to buy any of this.
Dude do you have Stockholm syndrome?
If you’re on by 7am everyday that’s by you’re own volition. Sometimes there’s a fire drill but otherwise I’m not checking my email until 8:30 and nobody is expecting me to respond before 9 - let alone have something turned by then (unless you didn’t finish your work the previous night, which is a you problem).
Ending at 4 am everyday is likely another you problem. You need to ramp up better or something is wrong - I highly doubt any associate is asking you for new tasks after midnight, and most seniors above that are trying to sign off by 11pm at the latest. Of course there are fire drills, but no this is not likely every fucking day.
So likely you are either “not getting it” which makes you painstakingly slow or if the above is all true (which I doubt considering this is GS13 during the Covid boom level of sweat) - you should lateral asap.
I don’t think this is the norm, but it has been for the past month. Recently started and got staffed on building the models for 3 different live deals. During that time we’ve also had ~7-10 pitches. I’ve been called after 1am multiple times by our group head to put a deck together, and I’ve been given comments by one of the psychopath VPs after 3am twice now. I get on at 7am because I’m west coast and our clients are typically east coast, which means 9am meetings are a bit early. If things don’t change I’ll lateral in the next few weeks. Already got multiple headhunters with MM IB offers that seem much better than this hell hole
Is this FTP?
Yeah bro its time to plan your move - I understand wanting to win but the seniors clearly have no respect for your time / life outside work, which isn’t somewhere you want to set your roots in. Praying for ya but this isn’t the norm, and I’m at a sweaty west coast shop myself.
