Midlife F**king crisis

"fucking crisis" does this mean you're having trouble getting laid?

if so then b-school is for you buddy

If you asked that question last year, the answer would have skewed toward a YES.

This year, I leave the office by 10. Shit changes.

Why does your profile say 3rd year analyst?

lack of attention to detail

i used to tutor kids from stern

Tutor them in what?

Stern classes are a fucking joke. BUT, the required liberal arts classes can all go to hell.

Economics bro......

economics = easy shit. why would anyone need tutoring?

Midlife crisis eheheheh.....your doing great man. I suspect your not getting any though.

hardly a midlife crisis and plenty of people would love to be in your shoes...ultimately it depends on what you want to do with your life maybe a 2 year vacation would allow you to figure it out

What is it about banking that you enjoy...ive met some great bankers and would imagine that working with them is enjoyable but the actually work seems boring as hell...the buyside offers a bit more autonomy, responsibility, less structure and people generally value your opinion

you would be comp at H/S/W based on stats alone so bschool is certainly an option good luck

I heard second hand that admission at Stanford R2 this year was 3.5%.

1. You should certainly try. The only things you'll lose are the application fees and the time you spend filling them in.

2. Of course.

To be honest, I think there are very few people (if any) on WSO that can appropriately answer your question. You shouldn't be taking advice from college juniors. Rather, take a step back and evaluate where you see yourself down the road. You have the qualifications to basically do what you want at this point, so make your decision based on your long-term career goals.

most legit feedback i've ever seen on this site

You have great stats and experience. I don't really understand the midlife crisis thing. Most of us would love to be in your shoes. You could definitely get into a top school. I don't know much about career paths but most of the PE firms are founded by men who were bankers for many years. I mean an extra 2 years of relevant experience for anything should be a good thing or a great thing (or at the very least a non-issue).

I think you definitely have a shot at the PE firms. And why the midlife crisis ? you're 27. are you going bald bro ?

To clarify why I titled the thread "Midlife Fucking Crisis" is: -group is getting massacred -gmat score expiring in 1 year -yes I am reaching 30 (bankers usually work until 50 so don't know how I should go about it) -my good friends are dropping out of the industry to get into random hobbies/interests... (don't know if I should be doing the same)

I didn't know WSO was mainly comprised of college undergrads. But whatever the case, feel free to tell me what you think.

well what's the likely hood of you getting laid off? If you can hang in there and become VP you would be in a great position once the recovery comes- right? Here's my opionin- stay in your job. 1. if you're still there after the recovery you will be a VP or maybe even beyond and can go after buyside if it still interests you. 2. if you get laid off then go do something fun/socially-acceptable (volunteering, etc) and work on your bschool app for the next admission cycle.

I wouldn't leave a great job to join bschool right now unless you were fired or your contract ended. Don't worry about GMAT. If you did it before you can do it again- right?
