Quitting IB for a more meaningful life
I’m a 24 year old second year analyst, looking at a promo to associate at the end of next year. I’ve realized that I’ve hated my life for a long time. When I was going through all my internships in finance and wasn’t enjoying it at all, I just assumed that this is what “adult life” is and I should give it a shot after graduating.
As mentioned, I hate each day of my life and the money isn’t enough to justify me doing this anymore. I’m way more driven to a service-oriented role where I can give back to others in some way. It’s hard for me to get over the amount of time I’ve wasted. As much as people think IB is a golden ticket to anything in life, people in the fields I’m looking to get into truthfully don’t give a shit about my experience.
Has anyone transitioned to a more service-oriented role after realizing finance isn’t for them? It makes me sick to think about ending up as a tied down loser like a lot of my seniors and leading a life of regret.
What is the question lol this is a self promotion look at me. Go live your life to your own vision. You’re not better or worse person than anymore who quit or stayed in IB
