I am trying to figure out how to be the least hardworking member and not feel bad about it. I have always been an over achiever and the older I get I realize that it is just a recipe for burnout - so trying to learn how to fall back

It's easy to fall into that comparison trap, especially when you see your colleagues burning the midnight oil or constantly churning out impressive results. But I've learned that everyone has their own strengths and working styles, and it's not always about who's putting in the most hours or tackling the most tasks. As a Finance Analyst, my value might come from my attention to detail, analytical skills, or ability to think critically about complex financial issues, even if it doesn't always look as flashy as someone else's hustle.

What does hard working mean to you? I don’t work late hours or “grind” at work, but I produce as much or more than my peers. Work smarter, not harder.

I’ve realized that part of it is as you get older, the scope of the role changes… when I was an analyst, I had a lot more decks or models I was churning out… now my success metrics aren’t as tangible.

There’s no reason you have to put up with a job you hate. I spent many years working in a toxic environment with a boss who gossiped and lead through fear. He wasn’t really much of a leader but basically a foreman. And he could make my existence miserable. I admit that it wasn’t easy to find another job but the bottom line is: trust your guts. If you feel something is wrong it’s because it probably is. Don’t second guess yourself. Look for options and and fight for your mental health.

Have you seen women wear ties and "masculine"-looking suits to work? Was it accepted by client and team? I've never worn a tie to work, but when I've worn clothing that had a more "masculine" fit either in grad school or some work environments, I've gotten comments and looks, or sometimes asked (or people gossiped) about my orientation. When I wear more "feminine"-looking clothing, I feel more more uncomfortable and awkward. 🤷🏼‍♀️

When you tell your manager you are unhappy and they are excited that you are putting your notice and don't try and make any changes b/c the new person/persons they are lining up will just cleanup and make it better.

Then, they get here and you are left to train them on everything you do and your manager keeps saying "I owe you an apology" because they didn't realize how taxing and mind wrecking most processes you handled were... welcome to corporate

When do you think associates are usually let go in small practice groups that are currently being overwhelmed with work? Is it when it starts to slows down or when they already have a candidate to replace you? Just trying to figure out how long I have after annoying a partner 😂.

How do you deal with a nosy coworker ? There’s a Product Owner on my team that is always asking details about what I’m doing, who I’m speaking to and why. Today I organized a meeting with a fellow PMM and she invited him for a detail and he insisted in staying for the whole meeting. Don’t wanna be rude but I’m tired of this.
