Did you buy a Rolex because everyone had one or because you genuinely wanted one? I wear mine maybe once a month now. Black submariner without date, bought as 2Y Analyst for my bday.

I didn’t buy a Rolex

like

Bought mine because my buddy kept pressuring me to..."can't be in finance without owning a rolex". To put it in perspective I own a couple of Grand Seikos and a Panerai. I was avoiding a Rolex because of the finance asshole perception.

TL:DR, I got mine to shut a friend up :)

Not happy w/ the job but good WLB. Very likely to promote to Pr which would include a 20-30% jump in total comp but shift to more variable
Move to MBB as PL. Projects & people are supposed to be great and he could see himself in the long run. Comp is 170k $ + 60% bonus. Will take 1.5y to move to Pr

Any Atomic Habit readers here? I’m brainstorming identity-based habits for two things I want to change:

-I want to bill more hours, so my goal is to become the type of person who bills at least 8 a day
-I want to drink less alcohol, so my goal is to become the type of person who drinks occasionally

Neither of these feel that helpful. Any one have suggestions for other identity-based goals that get at these changes I want to make?
