Analysts/Associates: How does your job affect your dating & social life?

To all the finance professionals out there, I'm curious to know: Did you notice any changes with your dating & social life once you started earning good money and working long hours? How did it affect your confidence, lifestyle, and relationships? What about friends?

What shocked you the most compared to college?

 

I don't know about any of that but I started IB FT this year and I feel like no guys want to date me because of my hours lol ( my work schedule is sadly really unpredictable and a lot of times I have to cancel dates last minute). It is so difficult to make plans. I tried to date but now I am at a point where I am like fuck it don't want to bother. My dating life was def much better in college 

 

I had a dream I could buy my way to heaven. When I woke I spent that on a necklace. I told God I’ll be back in a second, man it’s so hard not to act reckless.
