Those of us in IBD who are finishing up and moving on with our lives in June, a few questions: 1) Are you 'mentally' checking out end of May? I'm planning on being a waste of space come June 1 and basically taking June off (unproductive will be an understatement)
2) Any of you planning on using the rest (or all) of your vacation / personal days?

your not worried about getting jacked on your bonus?
Probably not going to check out completely, but will def try to swing 2 weeks of vacation.
Thing is, my group knows I'm leaving so I don't imagine getting staffed on any long-term projects come May.
Last year an analyst got staffed on something "quick and internal" two days before his last day. Stayed until 4am both nights.
1) I was not totally checked out. I'm just now getting accustomed to 7 hours of sleep. I got out around late July '06 and took all of Aug off...
2) I scheduled a vacation week 2 months before my departure and checked out the following Wed permanently...

In general, how many people completing their analyst term go on to PE or HF? How about back to school or to some other field?
