There was a dude in my analyst class who spent part of his first bonus to bang a pornstar and he was always the most cheerful guy on the floor.

If it ever comes down to it, maybe you can do that lol

Prioritize your life. Your identity can’t be work. Take vacations. Find a hobby that interests you. Spa day are the best days - if you’re not treating yourself, you’re cheating yourself.

Who said you don’t

In most financial services roles people “burn out” in their first couple years for different reasons. You just need to find what you enjoy and learn how to be efficient and maintain your health.

Hello Fishes,
What kind of role does a Deputy Manager in the risk consulting service line perform. I am currently a senior consultant at EY India is it a similar kind of role?

I'm looking into becoming a consultant. Have a BS in economics and a MS in Marketing, with little work experience. Tell me why I shouldn't pursue consulting, it can be any reason whether it be my degrees, lack of experience or your own personal experience.

Ditching consulting and going industry! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 Never thought I’d feel so relieved by making this decision.

As an analyst, how early should I expect to get to do modelling?
I started a couple months ago and feels like everyone else (MBA associates, experienced analysts) is asked to do the modelling and I haven't been.
I lightly mentioned they don't need to hesitate to give me modelling pieces so I can learn but haven't touched anything yet.
I also get that with a time crunch, it's easier this way.
I'm worried this is a sign they don't trust me and I never will get to do any modelling/will be let go.
