Finish out strong. People will remember their most recent interactions with you.
Agreed. Always finish strong. You never know if someone you’re working with now will be interviewing you in a few years.
Be professional. Give your best - you have no-one left to judge you anymore, so you should work relatively stress free. Treat every interaction as a networking opportunity, and every work stream as an opportunity to learn something new. Read primers, dig through past deal folders to learn more about different businesses (not transactions); be a sponge. Very few jobs will get you access to strategic materials - use that while you can. Once you leave, you will never have access to any of this.
Never leave on a bad footing. Our star analyst left in 2021 but burnt a whole lot of bridges in the way they acted in their last 4 weeks. Now instead of being remembered as someone who was top of their class, everyone recalls the pain it was to work with them in their closing days. Don't be that person, if you can help it. Best of luck!
could you elaborate more on how they fucked up
Probably would finish strong. No one really remembers what work you did but how you treated others. Also would prob start to enjoy your life again. Do some hobbies, workout, or do something you enjoy. I probably would take my gf to a nice dinner, close my computer early, and go start working out again. But do what you wish

Where are you headed to?
Probably home to finally get some sleep
Are you quitting without anything lined up?
In the same boat - would love to know if you had something lined up ? If yes, how did you manage to prep for interviews ? Seems super hard to me given the hours
I agree. Finish strong.
try to bang at least one chick before you leave
Agreed with the above, definitely finish on high note.
I just left after one year for buy side and stayed a full month after giving notice. Had three 5am nights last month and definitely had a few “why am I doing this to myself right now” moments. But after leaving I had several MDs and seniors call out how much it meant to them I ended on a high note even after not staying two years. They’ll appreciate it and even told me I could come back if I so chose one day. Feels good to maintain the connections for two to four weeks of work.
