I'm thinking of changing career. I often feel that I'm too sensitive for the type of environment I work in. Not sure if I should consider other options or just keep at it and persevere?

Be your own researcher and for the next few months observe yourself at work. You will figure out what you like and don’t like about the job. Once you know that, look for positions within your firm (if you think that is a solution) or outside your firm. You need a thick skin in this job and it’s not for everyone. The best bosses are the ones who recognize when things aren’t working out & make a change.

The problem is that everything needs a thicker skin and I always feel so sensitive. At the same time my sensitivity allowed me to manage loads of difficult situations in my career. It's like a 6 sens yet it can be so heavy to carry... Maybe I should start with coaching sessions.

I’m curious how much other people with similar incomes save/invest a year; I’m a 24M, making 70K a year in a HCOL city. I saved about $12K in my first year of working out of college, and I feel like that’s pretty good but I could’ve done better. My rent isn’t too pricey, but I went on 3 vacations, go out to the bars frequently, and spend pretty freely on food. Anyone care to share their income and corresponding savings for FIRE?

I stupidly gave a salary range during the interview of 110-140k, cuz I was guessing, but I know JPM pays 130k base for the same role. How do I get myself to 130? First time negotiating, any advice appreciated!!!

My floor supervisor (direct report) married the operations manager two weeks ago. I can’t say anything to either of them without hearing it repeated back to me from the other one. The OPs manager and I are on the Executive management team, and it’s making it very difficult to brainstorm about changes that need to take place throughout the organization when I can’t trust him to keep it to himself. Even if he didn’t share information, there are other issues…see below
