Quitting Goldman

I’m quitting my job at Goldman and moving back to Cleveland. It’s been too much. Haven’t gone to bed before 4 am in 3 months and that includes weekends. I’m looking to go into some type of consumer banking role and do asset based lending in Cleveland.

Anyone else ever felt like this? I feel so worthless but then again I should be maximizing my happiness.
