Was The Analyst Stint All In Vain? IT WAS NOT!

As fresh graduates, we are thrown into a new world. It seems tough, impossible, my god sometimes it feels like death would be an easier option. However, remember the lives of those who came before us who who stayed up countless nights to secure their future. THEY GIVE US STRENGTH, remember the past, the tired ones, the broken ones, the despairing ones, the courageous warriors who keep us going and make us remember that there is a destination at the end... two years is a small price to pay for our freedom so that we can give hope and mentor the new faces that come in the future. If we quit now... then maybe their analyst stints were in vain, but if we grit our teeth and fight, we become better versions of ourselves and only then are we are able to rebel against this cruel corporate world.
