I’d start looking for an exit soon so it’s close to ready by oct. I would also explain early in the process that you have a bonus coming in oct and see if they’ll match as a signing bonus be but beware of clawback clauses.

Is there no clawback once you get the 25k bonus

You can start looking now and just take a step back. do above bare minimum, but don’t go nuts. Stay semi billable so you’re not a target for a layoff, like 30 hours a week.

Someone who is in FDD still but was in a similar mindset also as a senior 3. First, try your best to put it into perspective that deals are cyclical and you have boom times where it sucks but you do have lull periods hold on and take advantage of the lull periods. Second, you do need to start to find what is required to recharge your batteries during the really busy times (you gotta find small ways to maintain your sanity and start forcing that). Last, don’t know if this applies, but I used the Lyra counseling program at EY to help with some of the excess anxiety the job can cause. Best of luck here!
