You’re telling me you can’t find 30 minutes here and there while on the road, in a hotel room, alone, with absolutely nothing to do?

It’s tough but doable. Set LinkedIn and indeed alerts for jobs you are interested in. Craft multiple pre-made resumes that highlighting crucial skillset for different roles. Then dedicate an hour everyday to fire off your resume. Also solicit a high end independent recruiter in your desired field to help with your search . Goodluck

I’ve had the same issue for last 2 years, you have to find every excuse to slack off. I’ve had other coworkers leave ahead of me because they were willing to do what’s needed to give them times. At the end of the day, you need to do what’s best for you. If you can take days off or take remote weeks without risk of getting fired, take it. Remote weeks help a lot in terms of applying and taking interviews

Quit

Define your boundaries and say you aren’t going to work from say 6PM to 9PM( avoid team dinners except maybe once a week as this is one of the biggest non productive personal time sucks) Use that to work out, work on your resume, training etc. Use personal days to meet people, interview on say Friday’s - yes work will complain but you have earned your personal days

Three observations from my market analysis this week:
1) Still work to do in repairing damaged trends with only energy and financials up over the last month
2) Technology has issues with rates, valuations, and supply chains for chips, so this could be heavy on the indexes
3) Setup for the week is concerning with OPEX, lots of data releases, and almost no IVOL premium - lots of event risk and limited hedging in place

Post-MBA, 5 weeks into consulting and I hate the weekends. It means I’m one week deeper in the job, and therefore performing another week lower than the level I’m expected to perform at. I have fucked up so much (led a disastrous client meeting, mistakes, slow to answer Qs, etc). My boss is picking up that this isn’t a “new” issue, its a me issue. I try my best to improve but I still feel so anxious, to the point that I started crying at my desk. What do I do? Anyone here quit within a month?
