Investment team at a tier 1 fund (the level just below MF).

Left for half the salary at small company for the promise of WLB

Regret doing it. Should have stuck it out!!

Been there done that. While the clamour of WLB makes sense eventually the boredom and monotonous feelings start to make you fed that you made a wiring decision. I eventually left such a role within 8 months as I couldn’t bear the thought of going to work and not doing anything.

Thoughts on Engage NY/Eureka math...

I’m have a new theory about why juniors always feel like idiots and wanted to see if anyone else thinks this makes sense. I’m a third year, and am the most junior person all of my teams (generally me, a senior or two, and a partner or two), and I always feel like I’m messing something up. Is this just because I never get to work with other juniors and don’t see the mistakes they make, and that it’s relatively normal? And FWIW I went to HYS and I’ve had a clerkship so it’s not like I’m not smart

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people.

I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
