You’re doing it backwards. You’re supposed to sleep around in the beginning and then get a girlfriend at the end of college

… or not at all

 

Simple question. Are you willing to put in the effort? If so not easy balancing a relationship and being an analyst. But it can be done.

I decided pretty early on that my relationship with my GF was worth the effort. Now we're 3.5 years in and I just finished my first year as an analyst. What it takes is being upfront about how things will be, and mutual patience & great communication.
