How many times a day do you think about quitting your job? I think about it every day. Am I the only one?

Maybe not every day, however lately it has been more days than not. It is such a constant stress on my mind. Not sure if going somewhere else would really be any better though, kind of worried I’d just be trading a known bad for the unknown worse. Do you feel like it is just specifically where you are that is the issue?

Why not quit and go into corp dev, strat fin/fp&a, or even M&A consulting? Much better hours in those roles. This is unsustainable.

I don't have those thoughts every day, but I do get them. There will be those flashes where I'll think, how on earth did I get here and what am I doing? What what's the point? And sometimes I'll just kind of fantasize about packing it in and going to the country and raising vegetables or something.

Interesting all the noise about these PPT, my take:

The pandemic took all the upside of an IB analyst life (client meetings in person, fancy trips, suit up, worshiped at networking events) and left all the juniors with the downside (long hours, monkey-like type of job, aggressive work environment).

Not that the complaints are not sort of legitimate but you may need to revise the decision-making process that led you to accept a return offer. Specially if you were looking for less hours.
