Got dumped by whomever I was dating — over and over. But, it freed my time up for 70/80 hour weeks. I’ll be starting therapy pretty soon too. Might help me make senior manager
Same happened to me year after year. Ending up leaving for business school—best decision I ever made
Caffeine and hate during the week. Whiskey and sex on the weekends. Repeat.
I think I blacked out

Theyd rather be working than with friends and family. Tough choice but it works for some
Damn accurate AF
I actually enjoy this job, work a bit almost every weekend year round and enjoy stimulants.
Honestly this job never gets boring. There’s always something new to learn and new people to train. You have to keep perspective - busy season doesn’t last all year. I would trade a few weeks of being tired over being bored at my job year round
Lol "a few weeks". Ever since Senior 1 year busy season has become a 5 month ordeal. I'm really tired of the culture of overworking and constant stress, even outside of busy season. If you made it to manager without feeling overworked all the time or jaded about this profession, you're either a workaholic or your team is carrying that burden for you, guaranteed. I've never encountered a team that was staffed appropriately to avoid this. Quitting as soon as I promote, I can't handle another busy season.
Just use the time to prepare for your first divorce
Someone is bitter.
Made it and now I'm gonna quit. Worth it.
I’ve never charged more than 1850 hours in a year and I’m making manager this year. Get really good at what you do, set boundaries, and if your partners aren’t total assholes you will still be rewarded.
By being too stubborn to quit
Oh yea - the PTO in professional services can't be beat. I take two two-week vacations every year and take the weeks of Christmas and Thanksgiving off.
Unlimited PTO is a scam. I get 6 weeks and try to use it all
No clue
By lying to myself
Honestly I didn’t think I would make it more than 2 years. The firm made it worth my while to stay after I was going to leave for a different job in my third year. In hindsight I’m glad I have stayed until manager as base salary is much higher and 20-30% bump is much better looking from where I’m currently at.
Grind your soul and suck it up.
One week at a time
Generally working 40 - 50 hours a week but being responsive outside work hours. Enjoying my SL made it relatively easy.
Finding the fun and enjoying the perks in it
