I’ve been wondering if I’m just lazy or actually sleep-deprived. I can survive on 6 hours a night, but I usually hit a wall by noon. 8 hours is the sweet spot for me to feel human. How much sleep do you need to get through the day without crashing?

7 hours of uninterrupted sleep.

You are sleep deprived. Read the book Why We Sleep if you want to understand why.

I get 7-7.5, but am always striving for 8.

I try to go to bed at a time that will be 9 hours before morning alarm. In my mind, that accounts for the times I wake up thru the night ;)

Depends how much energy your day requires

How do you think about carried interest as a factor in total comp? Getting 69bps (memelord GPs) in a $420M (see above) fund, which vests over 8 years. It’s a new fund, so won’t be paid out until liquidation 5-7 years later.

Assuming I stay at the fund for two years, and the fund returns 3x, that’s 300k (obviously subject to big change depending on my tenure & returns). When benchmarking against other offers, how should this be valued? Is TC 450k (300k salary/bonus + 150k carry), or less?

I recently joined Allstate india and my manager is forcing me to come to office twice a week. During negotiations, I had made it clear that I didn't want to work from office due to personal commitment.

Please suggest:
1. Is my understanding correct that Allstate india is currently not forcing employees to come to office and my manager is an exception?

2. How can I say no without pissing off the manager given I have just joined the company?

I had a hectic last three months working up to 16 hours a day due to my project. During this time I took advantage of convenient food which isn’t always the best. Now that things have died down I am having trouble switching from the less convenient food, snaking more than I should and not being as active as I was during the three months previously. I haven’t found what I need to motivate myself and I’m hoping that others could share what motivates them to get back into it after a hectic time
