OP I don't know what my breaking point is but I think I will know when I hit it and we are getting dangerously close to me hitting it. I dread coming to work and every day just feel like I am going to pack up my stuff and leave and never come back. I feel like whateve it is that causes me to be pushed over the edge will be something seemingly small but just know its been a long time coming.

In the forest that is the financial industry, I am a pine tree -- not an oak. I will bend, but not break. However, as a former resident of a piney state, I must say that like the loblollies of my youth, if things get too cold I may shatter. Fortunately, I try to keep the temperature in my professional life summer-hot -- so far.

Went from a big firm to work for a smaller firm. The people in the smaller firm are protective of their work and are good by their work too. I no longer feel chaos or stress. I am treated with respect and my schedule is more normal. I am even working more billable hours than before, but it feels like a seamless experience. I don’t work then past 5pm or anything out of the ordinary for this time of the year. I am so grateful!

What are realistic expectations for 3rd Year Analyst / Direct Promote Associate bonus range at a BB? Note that at MS, 2nd year bonuses in my group last year were 90-115K, while MBA associates received a pro-rated 90K stub (~40k). Personally would be pretty unhappy to take a pay cut between 2nd and 3rd year…
