I used to love coming into work, surrounded by colleagues I got on well with. The biggest shift for me was noticing how different I felt outside of work compared to when I logged on. Even though I still had people around me, I found the environment drained me, whereas out of work gave me my energy back. Have you ever realised a workplace was affecting you more than you thought, regardless of the relationships you may have there?

That sounds pretty familiar to me. What happened with me is that things went downhill, but gradually enough that I wasn't really aware of it day to day. It's like the old story about the frog in the slowly heating pot of water, you can be getting cooked without realizing it. It slowly dawned on me that issues at work really were affecting me more than I realized.

This is a great analogy! 100% took me way longer to realise the affect on me

I have to commute 3 hours two way by car though

Maybe you need a new job closer

That is how I felt at my last company. I loved the work I was doing and my coworkers, but the environment was draining me. I had to leave and find a new job.

Me too! Still get to see some of my old coworkers luckily

Is it possible without a) going for an MBA b) Starting from the bottom at Undergrad analyst level.
Would ideally target pre-MBA Associate level (one step short of post MBA level).

Any leads/strategy to crack this would be greatly appreciated.

This is twice now in back to back weeks my boss has asked me where the disconnect was in our communications because I didn’t deliver on what “was asked”, even though I know damn well what was asked and what was done were the same thing. I’m not sure if he’s changing the meaning or isn’t communicating what he’s envisioning or what but it’s embarrassing to be called out like that, and to have people think you’re the dumb 23 year old.

I recently had an interview with BNY for an Analyst role located in DE. The interview went well and I was informed by the recruiter that the team was interested. They asked if I was willing to relocate immediately, and I told him that my decision would be best made if I see an offer. I have not yet received a follow up after this(coming on two weeks) so I know that I've been ghosted. My question is, was I wrong to ask to see the offer before making a decision?
