How to be bottom-bucket in 2nd Analyst year
Hey guys -
Does anyone have any tips on how to coast / be bottom-bucket without getting fired or laid off during their 2nd year. I'm talking basically working 50-60 hour weeks. I just spent my first year and got top bucket. Paid about $15K more than the bottom bucket in my team, but I grinded very hard. I don't care much for banking anymore and will not take a return offer for ASO if i get one. I also am not recruiting for PE, but rather have some other exit opps which I've guaranteed through my network.
Some people may also ask, well if you dislike banking so much, why not just switch or quit right now? Basically, I want to spend a year saving up as much money I can (expensing all meals, no major purchases, expensing any travel) to be able to pursue my own thing post banking. So yes, in a way I'm just looking to fleece my bank for a year with the littlest amount of effort that keeps me afloat as possible and am looking for advice.
For context, I have no idea how one cannot work the god awful hours that we do. I can turn down staffings if I'm busy, but I still have to show things I'm actively working on. I also need to be responsive to random requests and things that are "expected" of an analyst. How do I chop all of this out?
You could've just asked how to quiet quit my bank.

Find the teams who have a similar lifestyle and try to work exclusively with them. Otherwise if you are working on intense projects with this mentality, the work is going to go somewhere and the others will get crushed.
