Keeping a level head
Was wondering if anyone had tips for staying sane in IB - obviously covid in banking was brutal for for a lot of juniors and it’s definitely caused some fall out in my (and I’m sure many other analysts/asos’) personal life. Any comments would be much appreciated. Lot of unsureness / self doubt going on and looking to figure out how to reorient my perspective on work and my career and maintain a better balance
Tip is rationalize 2 years. Your 21/22.
I think not caring too much is one. And by that I mean don't get emotionally invested. If you make a mistake, obviously you need to know not to do that again, but don't get down on yourself. I'm not seeing you need to go emotionally numb, but a little bit of that helps at work (not in your personal life). When my associate sends me an email with something I probably should have done, but didn't do, I don't let my stress level climb, I just shrug it off and get the work done.
How do you go about caring less? It’s Not about getting stressed over comments or negative feedback but it’s more just like a feeling of always wanting to be online / responsive. Like I know at a high level my reputation is more or less set but how do you reorient how your team views you without continuing to go all out with effort?
I just communicate when I'm going to be gone/unavailable. You can also just switch your Skype so you're always yellow. then you don't feel the pressure as much.
