Got super excited to be staffed on a project, and then saw that another colleague was also just added on. This colleague has always been pretty competitive/has given cutthroat vibes. Now I’m less excited and just stressed about working with them, hate feeling super competitive day-to-day. Any tips on dealing with this?

Is the project big enough to have your own work streams? I’d make sure to be very clear on duties and what your and their deliverables are. Have a regular weekly meeting with yourself and the project manager to discuss the project and any issues.

Hey! I've always wanted to get into IB (prestige, money, you name it), however now that I'm in a more laid back environment (better WLB, "easier work") it doesn't seem as attractive as before and the pay is quite good for an analyst level (I think the pay is competitive even comparing with IB's pay in my country) . I wanted to know if anyone had the same experience and what were your thoughts (pursue an MBA and leave your comfort zone and "good pay" or just stick with it). TIA!
