It is good experience. I think it can burn people out and not sure it transfers to everything, but if you like the markets it’s can be a great career. If it isn’t really what you wanted to do it may not be the best for building optionality

Ok thank you! I really appreciate the advice

Are you designing the models or just crunching the data? How old are you and what’s the salary? Pre-recession those roles made bank but with the advent of technology a ton of that has been streamlined by software.

Get training you need but the big bucks come with managing the people and processes.

It’s a mix of designing models and strategies and the usual. Okay, it’s noted!

My mood has been fluctuating so much lately. Some days (yesterday) I wake up feeling invincible and some days (today) want to hide myself the rest of the world and feel like nothing will ever get better. I’m trying to push myself to make plans with other ppl and am really self-conscious about it cuz I don’t want ppl to see me in low spirit.. any ideas on how to fix that?

Anyone deal with this before: I inherited a severely under developed team including a sr analyst who clearly was doing the bare minimum, if that. Over the last 6 months I have had to coach him and correct simple mistakes in his work and recently it got so bad that I told him he would receive a low rating in his evaluation. He lashed out, involved HR saying he doesn’t understand why, and now my review points out stuff that I would have let slide.
