Career Resources
When I was working 80+ hours a week, I found adding 10-15 minutes of guitar playing whenever I could, how little I could to instantly make me feel better and make me saner.
Could be a different thing for you. Whatever you did before you started working that brought you joy. Pick it back up, no matter how little.
Move your body when you can. Weekend pickup basketball games (also a sense of community), take a walk during phone calls, etc.
Eat healthy, you are what you eat. Drink no alcohol if possible. More water less corn syrup drinks.
All these steps and all the tiny little joys they bring you in your life will add up and before long you’ll be over your analyst stint.
If after two months of this and still depressed and anxious, then maybe the job /firm isn’t for you. Need self introspection.
That’s helpful. Isn’t this common amongst all analysts though? Eating shit for 2 years? I don’t mind the firm, yes the hours suck, but I’m not sure if quitting in 2 months should be the solution
Not necessarily. There’s a difference between sweaty and toxic. If it’s not toxic, then these things should make you saner immensely.
I didn’t mean quit in 2 months. But if these things don’t make you any better, then you need to decide on what to do. Maybe the industry isn’t for you and you pivot after the analyst stint. But if it gets so hard you can’t get out of bed or something and can only think of dying, then quitting might be the better option.
Cross that bridge when you get to it. For now, do what I said, and be very mindful of everything you do. You have to actively include these and eat healthy as the opposite is the comfortable way and it is easy to succumb.
OP is 6 months in, don't drop the 'maybe you should quit' bomb on them already lol. They need to know they are strong enough to get through this and that the sacrifice they're making now is worth it.
Quitting before a year in is career suicide, so never don't do that. Quitting after 2 years is the bare minimum level of acceptability.
I do the exact same thing with my guitar. Started playing guitar in college cause I had a lot of free-time and it has been such a huge de-stresser for me, 15mins of playing guitar can make me so at ease
