You aren’t cut out for this.

I promise you if you can’t emotionally control yourself now, conducting yourself & managing both internally/externally after revision 87 on Sunday 9pm stemming from back to back 90-100hr weeks will be the wrong side of impossible.

I’m not trying to put you down, I’m trying to make you see reason.

Obviously, people can change, but trust me this post’s reflection is so far from the reality of the job, I’ve actively decided to give you this advice…..

Perhaps reconsider, or take a year off.

 

Felt. Bitter analysts who were going to quit anyways ruining interns careers with bs "feedback." There's a firm out there that truly deserves you so keep your head up. Things will work out.
