Retracting resignation
Resigned from my BB this week due to mental health and burnout. No gig lined up - I just felt that I had no other option other than to hand in my notice. Unfortunately, I had immediate regret after realizing that I may have just tanked my entire career by doing this.
Is it worth asking HR for another shot or to extend my end date? Realize that I'm going to get heavy monkey shit for this post but I really felt at the end of my rope physically and mentally before giving my notice. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Are you already terminated? If not, I would email HR ASAP asking to take a temporary leave of absence instead. Also tell your group head or whoever you discussed the resignation with.
I take it you haven't performed very well? Otherwise I doubt you'd have to wonder if they'd have you back.
idk, banks are currently often quite delighted at voluntary turnover as it helps their headcount issues
No, I haven't left yet.
Unfortunately I think it's unlikely that they consider the request. I was not a poor performer, but as another poster said, banks are trying to reduce HC and I just helped them by resigning. Have no idea what to do since my ultimate goal was early stage investing, which may no longer be possible after leaving early.
Maybe not. You gave them an opportunity to cut headcount without paying severance or unemployment. But you may as well try. If you already regret it now, you may feel sick about it later.
I think reaching out and telling them that after further consideration you want to discuss a potential leave of absence instead
I think there is a way you can frame it / word it to potentially reverse it
This is why you always need to take a few deep breaths and think about the consequences of quitting
I have come very close once. Had a bad weekend with personal stuff and then got crushed the next week. Got some comments at 1am and nearly considered quitting… however I thought about how hard I have worked for this, needing to pay rent etc. and just had to man up.
I get the anxiety, but you left for a completely valid reason... you certainly have not tanked your entire career in the slightest. You will land somewhere just fine with great BB IB experience behind you. That is worth something to a LOT of companies.
Take a month or two off and just chill and then start recruiting for better jobs.
