Are you an actual IB Aso? I wouldn’t do it at the ASO level. It’s way too demanding and ultimately you don’t want to let your kids down as they’re only young once.

I have 2 kids under 3 and waited till I was fairly senior. Delayed a few years but in the grand scheme of things, insignificant.

What it means though is that I can always eat dinner with them and put them to bed, always be there to give them breakfast. At the same time I’m able to excel career wise.

If I had done it as an ASO/1st year VP, it would have sucked either work-wise or family.

I think it’s over with my SO of 3 years. He tells me he loves me and wants to work things through but has lied to me several times in the past - some which were the same mistake three times. He knows he needs professional help (he’s also on antidepressants and has PTSD) but I don’t know how I can trust him again. Feeling completely broken - cannot believe the situation we’re in. I’m so sad my heart is breaking and I don’t know what to do

Interesting all the noise about these PPT, my take:

The pandemic took all the upside of an IB analyst life (client meetings in person, fancy trips, suit up, worshiped at networking events) and left all the juniors with the downside (long hours, monkey-like type of job, aggressive work environment).

Not that the complaints are not sort of legitimate but you may need to revise the decision-making process that led you to accept a return offer. Specially if you were looking for less hours.
