On average how would you rate your mood during the day?
On average how would you rate your mood during the day? I sometimes experience moments of ups and downs internally, but overall am curious how everyone else feels throughout the day
Based on the most helpful WSO content, it seems that the mood among professionals in high-stress environments like investment banking, private equity, and similar fields can vary significantly throughout the day. Many users have shared experiences of fluctuating moods due to the demanding nature of their jobs, with some moments of high stress and others of satisfaction from completing challenging tasks.
For instance, an analyst in corporate banking mentioned a happiness rating of 7/10, indicating a generally positive mood despite the demanding nature of the job. On the other hand, some individuals have expressed experiencing lower moods, with ratings around 1/10 to 3/10, often attributed to the intense pressure, long hours, and the impact these factors have on personal life and mental health.
It's also worth noting that some individuals find moments of joy and satisfaction in their work or in the small breaks they manage to take, which can positively impact their mood throughout the day. For example, a private equity professional shared that despite the job's challenges, finding time to engage in enjoyable activities, even if as simple as watching football while working, helped maintain a mood around 6 or 7/10.
In summary, while there are moments of ups and downs, the average mood can vary widely among finance professionals, often influenced by the work environment, the nature of the tasks at hand, and the individual's ability to manage stress and find personal time.

Linus: you suicidal? Rusty: only in the morning.
Hahaha, I’m not a morning person so when I wake up to work, I’m like “fuck this, I’m out this is bullshit” then I wake up a bit more and am fine and happy again hahahha
lol same.
Meh - answers can probably vary depending on what day it is
Every day is different. Notice when I'm more busy my mood is more constant, as I just robotically complete tasks
Every day is mundane, have no feelings towards any of the work. Simply run the process, sadly
Everyday is more or less kind of similar just different work/tasks
My mood is a parabola where the peaks are lunch/dinner
Usually in monkeymode during the day
