I swear finance recruiters have a sixth sense for sniffing out anyone who didn’t start in finance. I’ve got 3 years of consulting experience, an MBA from a top 20 program, and legit modeling skills, but every IB/PE role I apply to, I get boxed out as “nontraditional” or “not technical enough.” It’s frustrating when I know I can do the work, but I’m not coming from the “right” background. Anyone else make the pivot successfully? How do you get recruiters to see past the resume label?

Took my first ever sick day today on account of my very poor and worsening mental health. Just could not bring myself to put in another 14 hour day with back to back meetings and constant activity. Felt very guilty but I honestly wish I could be more honest and actually share with my manager about why I took a day off.

For those also going through this, any tips on how you manage yourself day to day? What self talk tends to help?
