I would leave once I have 3 plus million saved in after tax investments. From there, I would do some consulting work and reduce my hours/stress.

funny

To be honest in my ideal world when I leave it will be to retire or be a stay at home mom LOL. I really do not want to have to work forever and at this point I have come too far to make any career changes. I think I will stick this one out until I can retire.

Public finance exit opps?

I can really use some direction. My background, I've worked 2 years in strategy and am currently coming off an exhausting year 2 in investment banking. I didn't particularly enjoy either role and am not interested in moving over to the buy-side or some monotonous FP&A role. Everybody says there's exit-ops aplenty, but I find myself with less options and even more picky than I did as an ambitious T2 undergrad student. Where do I go from here?

Looking for advice: I have an analyst (9 months on the job) who still doesn’t get it - repeatedly misses comments, doesn’t follow instructions, slow, etc. I have raised this to both my MDs and they seem to be adopting a “not my problem” approach when I mention it. I had advised against hiring this analyst post internship and my MD insisted that all the issues I highlighted were fixable. I have tried teaching him to no avail and frustration with him is growing. Any suggestions for how to handle?
