I wish people would stop *bragging* about getting little sleep. It seems like you can't manage your assignments and time.

To SC1 and OP: I do agree somewhat though. Ours tends to be a masochistic 18hr work day culture not unlike SNL’s writing staff.

Ugh, I used to be this person! When I see fb posts from 10 years ago, the majority of them are about how busy I was. Now in my 40s, I aim to post about how I’m enjoying life outside of work. Live and learn.

Also, this is a byproduct of our capitalistic society where we’re judged by our level of productivity. It’s gross.

So people Bragg about not getting sleep? Or did one person do that and did you generalise it? Never heard anyone doing that.

Been in the strat game for over a decade; I’ve realized that a strong department with clear process that is built on end to end problem solving (with time to think) is when I’m happiest vs this award show / case study grind.

I left my job without having anything else lined up otherwise I would have had a mental breakdown. I’m not even in that great of a financial place, but it was my job or my sanity.

This isn’t normal for people to be doing this right?
