I get that time in the market beats timing the market but knowing that we are yet to fully grasp the implications of current events makes me want to wait a little longer

That's why you missed a 15% return in April and two of the best weeks the Dow Jones has had since the Great Depression.
All those times, when clients whined about not getting in when the Dow was below 20,000 back in 2016. Then it happens and they don't go in because it could go lower?
If you have a plan, stick to the plan. Remove the emotion. If that had been your favorite car dropping from $29,000 to $20,000 would you have bought it or waited for it to go back up to $25,000 to make sure the dealer wasn't unloading a lemon?
Emotional investing is what keeps folks from realizing their goals. Between 1977-1990, Peter Lynch managed Fidelity Magellan to a record average return of 29.2%. Unfortunately, not one account holder ever averaged over 8% during that time - because they never stayed in the fund the entire time. They panicked when the fund would lose money in '83 or '87 or Oct. '89.

People who work in banking, and especially in France, have you ever been badly treated by your colleagues with an attitude as if you’re not even worth a piece of sh** ?

I don’t know if it’s because people in the banks are like this or if it’s because french people are rude. But the way my colleagues behave (fortunately, just some of them, not all) would be considered extremely impolite and uneducated in Asia (where I’m from). Would love to hear some of your opinions about this!
