God I hate my job and the partner I work for. Nearly a year in and I can’t imagine staying any longer. This job sucks….. but I am just too exhausted to look for other opportunities with the grueling week. For the people that escaped how did you fit job hunting whilst being slammed at work?

I checked out, and it was easier to handle from an energy/mindset point of view

I still pulled long hours but rarely past midnight

The first months were very tough bcs you need to brush your CV and practice interviews to get momentum, but afterwards just a few hours a week would satisfy.

Finding my next gig took a whole year. Idk if this is the answer you wanted to hear but it was my case (EM equivalent at one MBB, about to start my new job)

I could, that’s in my control. But at the same time I am not wired that way. I actually care about my output. I actually care to learn. It’s not just the money for me. I don’t want to leave this job without learning the skills. But maybe I am just naive and need to fake it

use internal network to get referrals

About to get promoted at PwC from Associate to Senior Associate (mgmt consulting). I interviewed at Deloitte for a Consultant position, but they’re potentially giving me an offer for BA. I’d essentially be holding out on the promo until next promo cycle. Usually, I’d understand hiring at a level below for higher levels but I feel like doing a 3rd year as a junior might not be the best decision. Should I push HR for Consultant level? I haven’t gotten the official offer letter yet, just verbal.

My generation is really f#cked up. It's impossible to save any money. And it's not that I don't want to. Is simply because I can't do it, by the end of the month there is really not much left. I'm exhausted of working to just pay bills 😔 Sometimes I wonder if those people that quit everything to have a better life are really the smarts one.
