After 6 years hustling for an IBD job in London, I want to quit after 2 months
Dear readers,
After struggling for more than 6 years to end up in London at a hellish BB (or ex BB...) , I wonder how I can save myself from this hell without returning back to poverty.
My team are a bunch of psychopaths lunatics with no regards to humanity.
I cannot change teams internally and I am already trying to find another job after 2 months.
I wanted to ask you what should I do while I stay with that lunatic team?
The level of cruelty is not even possible to imagine...
You can easily get another job once you're at a BB. Maybe DCM or something will give you most of the comp upside with better WLB. I am at a large bank and while the hours are the hours, my entire team is very friendly and genial and so it's not like being around toxic teammates is universal.
Been there before. I struggled to get something for several years and when I got it, it wasn't in line with expectations so I was feeling miserable.
My advice is to hold-on, try to keep yourself sane by doing sports and keeping contacts with your friends/family, you should hang-on for at least 6 months and then try to understand if your misery is related to your colleagues/work environment or to the IBD work in general. In either case, IBD will offer you other options so don't discourage yourself.
Thanks for the advice. I am convinced its about the toxic lunatics I work with. I wake up everyday in a minefield. Working 100h is possible in a good environment but not in a Gulag.
Sounds like DB
Read the threads here are rationalizing 2 years. Not telling you how to live your life or anything, but food for thought. If you worked hard for 6 years to get BB IB. Why throw it all away? I have friends who worked at cmplete sweatshops (e.g. 90-100+ hours on end) and they got good exit opps after.
You gotta ask if it's worth it, but hard to say when you're swimming in shit.
