Anyone never wanna go back to the office? 10pm minimum nightly facetime shifts, called at 6am for a print job, battleshits with a partner on the phone next to you, sitting in a small cube in a gray office, eating lunch and dinner in powerpoint? I love WFH. Don't like the job much at all, but love the little freedoms of going to the gym mid-day or having a beer when I'm not getting crushed, and saving 80% of your pay is why I wanted to be in banking in the first place. I'm thinking I won't go back to midtown life. Rent alone makes everything not worth it unless you stick around for the bonus, which is never guaranteed.
Two questions here guys:
1) What's the best guess? I'm thinking mid-march. No way I do another full year, but I'm down to game the system and move my mouse and stack up cash until they call me in. Also need a buffer for interview prep, I can't wait to learn how to do an LBO and forget it in a week for the tenth time.
2) Underachieving overachievers, what's the next move? From the next gig on, I'm working 30-50 hours, taking full vacation time and all the sick days. With an out of office email auto reply. Never missing another ski trip with the boys, and fine with a 30% paycut. My portfolio does the heavy lifting now, know what I mean? I was thinking about finding that small family office that is always on the outreach list for some reason, but always says that the deal is not a strategic focus for them. And interviewing to be the guy that says that. Or maybe disappear into the org chart at a fortune 100 on a corp dev team where they do a deal every 3 years.
Who's had success maxing out the life end of the work life balance equation after banking, while still monetizing the brand they worked to build? What role are you in? Can you give me your job?
Cheers and Merry Christmas guys
Hahaha I respect your lifestyle.
I aspire for your #2 goals. I think underachieving overachiever is exactly what I want to be lmao
I know an I-salesmen at a regional shop that probably has three decent clients and this mother fucker works from the golf course, I shit you not. I think he’s on straight commish now though, monthly payout, 35-40% of production no salary. I know his book did something like 1-1.2mm /yr when I worked with him, and he dicked around all fucking day, went on every vacation possible, and still managed to pull that off. $300k/yr for basically no effort, considering it as a retirement option myself
