When Did You Check Out?

2y analyst at a BB, start at a PE fund later this summer and my last real day of work at my bank is 1st or second week of June - extremely excited to leave banking as 2020 was prob the worst year of my life lmao

Just want a litmus test for how soon those who have left banking for the PE side checked out. Should be noted that all my team members know I am leaving and have since I got the offer in 2019, very lax policy and encourage recruiting

I don’t care about bonus (got top bucket last year, realized it wasn’t worth it compared to what middle got)

All thoughts / comments are appreciated
