Haven’t had a day off since new years with no end in sight. Seriously considering quitting. My life is horrible at the moment
You legit just working all day sat and sun too? Hours during week are what, 9 am to 1amish average? hows life of your associates? thanks man
Ur cap af bro. Ur probably 9-10 realistically with the occasional 2amer. U work at Morgan Stanley industrials lol lifestyle group
Heard MS Industrials is incredibly sweaty.
But as second year, why are you even grinding?
How is bro cap by saying he hasn’t had a day off since New Years? I’m in a MM Industrials group (been mainly focused on aerospace & manufacturing deals recently) at a non-sweaty bank (aside from certain groups) and that’s pretty much the norm. Yea I get to wfh Fri-Sun, but am online from 9:30-7 then anyway. 9:30-12 Mon-Thurs on average. Is this not the norm? Am I being sweated and just delusional?
B5 in Canada is up and down very team dependent. M&a across the street is sort of 90hrs and insane turnover
