How do you manage working in finance vs personal life? I feel I never have time to do anything else, I am drained.

Same boat, trying to carve out time for working out because it seems to be an only thing that “undrains” me

Yeah, it's kind of funny, finance is my job but my personal finances are in shambles. I haven't updated my spreadsheets or checked my accounts in months, probably. I'm just so sick of looking at numbers at the end of the day, it's the last thing I want to do after a long day at work.

I feel this so deeply. I’ve started using paid subscriptions to help make things a bit easier on myself. YNAB has been super useful for automating transaction tracking and putting all my account values in one place for easy review.

I used to find it awful but I found it was the company I worked for. I am only 6 years into my finance career and I’ve already been through 4 jobs!! Leaving places that make me work until 10pm unpaid everyday was a big thing for me!

Creating an after work ritual has been very helpful. 30ish non-negotiable minutes spent doing only care tasks that help me feel human again. Often, the time is spent eating a solid meal while listening to chill music since I am so guilty of skipping lunch.

I had to start setting more firm boundaries. I don't do anything work related when I am off work. It helps to maintain work life balance when you don't feel like you are always working.

Guys. I need your suggestion. Shall i stay here in Kolkata or return back to my home town for a month or two provided Magnet doesn't have any space. My home town is nearby. It's not commutable by road but i can come here in short notice if any. I'm currently not assigned to any project so no one checks if I go to office. I have a home here, I have updated address of this place in Kolkata. But I want to stay in my home for some more days 🥺 Salt Lake will open then I would have no option to leave
