Back in college I would think having a job is chill and great because there’s no pressure to get good grades. Now I’m on the job there’s constant anxiety about performance reviews every project. Is there an end to this anxiety? I’m so done with this shit

I’ve heard typical tenure at MBB is less than 2 years, and plenty of it isn’t by choice (even if more typically it’s people leaving upon being given a hint rather than having to be fired). You’re not alone.

When you’re older you might get to feel more chill about work, for now, as an MBB type, sorry. Though there are others who seem really comfortable, maybe the fear is more of a newer people thing.

You have two choices. 1. Work on your anxiety - much of what we feel about events is self generated, how we frame things, the narratives we tell ourselves. Feelings often make no sense and we can change them. 2. Go get a different, less-demanding job. Prestige and money aren’t everything.
