Anyone else having a heart attack from this job. I literally clocked in 18 hours a day for my deal team for the past week. I am tired and everyone tells me I am behind or frustrated all the time on other projects. I’ve thought about quitting so many times. I like the work but the people make it unbearable. What can I do? It’s just a toxic work culture

My recommendation is to just try and get through this rough patch and then I’d suggest sitting down and thinking about if this is worth it. Is the paycheck worth the stress, anxiety and implications to your health? Not sure what bank you are at but you can def find other banks/groups/roles where you aren’t clocking 18 hour days.
