ANL1 Looking to Exit: Non-PE/IB/HF/VC…. Ideas?
What can I do ?
What job can I do that doesn’t require modeling and is pretty chill (40hrs) and I get paid decent.
I hate banking so much. I have a medical condition which has been made known to my employer yet they don’t care about my health. Don’t get enough sleep, sunlight, exercise, and I’m depressed.
I need to get OUT
Why would you go into IB if you have a medical condition which prevents you from working the hours every other analyst works? You don’t get a free pass just because of your condition. Get a grip and lose the self-entitlement.
Aside from this, go to a corporate or start-up. You have 1 year experience so it will be difficult to be taken seriously
This comment isn't necessary. It's banking, not war. We're at a critical moment where we're trying to keep the core structures of our industry at-large while making sure Gen Z and Gen Alpha enjoy work.
OP can apply to product marketing, FP&A, and other jobs today and still get looks. OP can probably chill with their friends for the next 2-3 years and build their career (business school, etc.) in a way that's even healthier than IB. We aren't the only game on the block anymore. And yes, "100 people would kill for his spot" but 99 of them would get into the seat and do the exact same thing. I love finance as much as the next person, but I can't plausibly tell my younger siblings, friends, etc. that the state of it is functional right now.
I don’t care if Gen z or Gen alpha enjoy work for the record
Following. Also ignore the other guy above not even worth acknowledging his existence.
The other guy is right. Having a medical condition doesn't entitle you to preferential treatment.
Where is the entitlement? He's literally trying to leave before even a year is up, not sit in protest for some kind of change in working conditions. Why is everyone in this industry so weird lol. Even the savant kids in tech have more self awareness.
He’s implying that his employer is wrong for not catering to his request to work fewer hours than everyone else

I didn’t quite catch that. Is he implying something?
Having a medical condition, as recognized by the ADA, certainly does mean someone gets "preferential" treatment.
We don't know if OPs condition is recognized by the ADA, but if it is - there is no excuse for violating the ADA.
There's a lot of unknowns about this situation but let's not be quick to bootlick and judge.
Dude. Just reading thru. It’s crazy how finance has changed. I guess good that my kids won’t have to sacrifice as much but it’s hard to process as an older guy. I had to give up everything,
— only now do I finally have a path to sustainability. And even that is opportunistic, not deterministic.
Credit research is pretty underrated imo. Can make good comp and work like 40-50 hours a week max.
lol, give me MS but you know I’m right.
You are wasting your own and your team’s time if you join whilst knowing you are unable to perform the job properly.
Thats all I said, and you can’t deny it.
Making you associates life harder because you get tired at 9pm is just annoying, IB isn’t for everyone, don’t force it.
Cry me a river OP giving MS lol.
(Not OP) You sound like a very miserable person. Your entire comment history is putting others down, and in this thread too, you are unnecessarily putting someone down. You have incredibly strong opinions on how things 'should' be given the fact given that you're not even a full-time analyst yet, and only just completed your Summer Analyst stint this summer. What makes you think you're the gatekeeper of finance and who should or should not be allowed to enter?
Far from miserable. I don’t have to have 10 years of work experience to know that it’s wrong to accept a job if you know you are going to be unable to fulfil the expectations of the job.

Why all the ms? GymMonkey is right;
If you can't carry your own weight, regardless of the reason, someone will have to pick up on the work you're not getting done. My advice to OP would be to give your spot to someone who can actually get the job done.
After a year and change I left IB for private credit. Incredible decision thus far. Like 50 hours per week, rare weekend work, and pay is basically the same.
