Burn out check.... Holy shit does anyone want to just blow their brains out 24/7
2 years IB, 1.5 years into PE.... I am so burnt out. I hate this job. I hate everyone in finance. I hate working long hours. I hate being stressed. I hate being confused. I hate this so much. Every single pain point in my life or feeling of unhappiness literally comes from my job and thats it.
I felt similar after 2 years in IB - I thought to myself, literally the only problem in life is my job. Because the job was completely ruining my physical and mental health and I was losing my relationships with friends and family to it.
I quit to something with much better WLB and feel much better now. Pay is less than IB but more than worth it to have my life/sanity back.
If you’re spending all your waking hours doing something you hate, that’s a bad idea.
Thanks for the comment. Helpful.
when you say confused, can you articulate exactly what you mean by this description?
This will sound super basic and dumb but I just want a job with no problem solving or complexity. Like everyday I wake up and know exactly what I need to do. Everytime I receive an email with a task I just stare it so confusingly and have to decode and "figure it out" first before even working on it, always being confused.
unfortunately AI will do this job in due time, and it might even do the ones with true nuanced problem solving and complexity at some point though hopefully not
