Got promoted to director today, and ended up consumed with loneliness by the end of the day with no one to celebrate with. So many "congrats!" and "hope your celebrate with friends and family this weekend!". Didn't help a tier 1 performance year with promotion was the smallest salary raise I've gotten in years. For others out there struggling on what should be an upbeat day, I'm feeling ya. Just needed to share with someone after a day of pasted smiles.

Interested in working in PE, but experiences align more with the Ops side (3 YOE in strategic value creation).

Would also be grateful to learn about potential strategies non-DD focused consultants have used to ultimately break into investment teams.

This is super weird but I feel like I can’t relate easily to people. Hear me out - I moved and lived in different continents, countries every 5 years or so until now… I feel like I’m an outlier and my life is super different from anyone else’s. I have some friends I’ve met at each stage of my life, but it’s been temporary. I feel like I’m always going in a different direction than others. It makes it difficult to have a stable life and close friends..

I’ve suffered from workaholism for a long time. Thanks to a lot of great self help books and therapy, I’m no longer putting work on a pedestal and I’m spending a lot more time on self care and my marriage. But, unfortunately, I am now getting withdrawals, because my body is used to the daily adrenaline of throwing myself into work. It’s this terrible feeling of like anguish/unease in my gut, but I don’t have anything I’m worried about- it’s like my body wants to find something to worry about.
