I have a weird question
I have given interviews in JPMorgan Chase for developer role and got the offer which is gud but interviews were not as tough as one might have expected from a reputed firm like jpmc.
Had 1 tech,1 tech-Manager round , Hire view test which was quite easy and an hr round.
Am a little worried about the standard of project and the team. I have offer from CIB Payments team. Checked with hiring manager and he said d role is for developer. Just worried abt quality of work
I tend to overwork myself and it’s really taking a toll on my mental well-being. I want to learn a lot and prove myself to my superiors so that they recognize me/see value. Now my work has a sense of dread to it. I watched my parents be workaholics growing up, so it’s all I know. I’m also goal-oriented and driven, so achieving a lot scratches that itch for me. But, it’s making me want to quit cause I’m burned out and depressed….im not sure what to do. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Yeah it’s a tough situation. I know I get much more emotional / cry super easily when I’m sleep deprived and stressed so this past busy season has been rough (ended up running on 5 hours of sleep a night for like ten days straight due to workload which was not pretty). I think it’s tough when the “checking in” is partners asking the whole group how people are doing (like... not well? Not going to say that in this giant group) or supervisors recommending you stress less because “the work will get done” which like, yeah it’ll get done by me and at my expense of my well being. So I feel you
Partners don’t care, just do what’s best for you period.

So accurate. I thought it would get better as I went up the ladder, but nope, it gets worse.
I feel the same way. I wish firms would stop saying they are concerned with mental health when the only thing that matters is the deadline. At least it’s been easier for me to cry at home than it was at work because I’ve never stress cried so much during busy season before. I’ve been “checked in on”, I.e. higher ups checking a box that they asked me how I was. But they don’t actually care, they think I should just be grateful to have a job no matter how miserable it makes me.
i felt this. I was at least a happy person before public, hopeful about everything, but now 4 years in and the smallest in convenience and I’m triggered. My mental health is at an all time low - I took a few days off, felt amazing but now it’s back to the grind and I feel my anxiety building up again, i wish I can quit pa for good

This is how I am too. I can take one day off and by mid afternoon I’m back to liking life. Tired, but in a good mood. Every time I go back to work in a good mood and it goes downhill in a matter of hours. Last fall I took 10 days off and was so so happy, but within a day of going back to work I was back to feeling awful.
I’m a tax manager and I feel the same. Busy season always sucks but this year just feels worse. I was going crazy WFH. I’m back in the office full time now. It feels good to close the laptop and leave the office to go home even if it’s 10pm
This is really unhealthy. Can you take a few “mental health” days off just so you can pull yourself together?

Thanks EY6. Get out before it comes to this for you lol.
Question; is it the work itself that is driving you to tears (totally believable since it is tax), or is the people you work for? One is definitely much easier to change than another.
Sounds like a myriad of issues. The partner one is easy enough to solve. Just start saying ‘no’ whenever she tries to dump more on you. No explanation needed. Just a firm ‘sorry, I don’t have the time to help you.’ That has made my life sooooo much better. Still if your crying every day it’s time to get out. Either to another firm, or private. A change of scenery could be the breath of fresh air you need... and if it isn’t well it’ll give you a little time to decide what you want to do with yourself.
