I’ve had it so rough I’m literally thinking of quitting every single day. Hate this life, hate everything about it but I spent so much time trying to get in, I can’t just leave after 8 months. What should I do ?

If you can afford to walk away do it now. If not then make sure you have a position to go to - being unemployed may be even worse.

Fair point

Introspect and identify what are the exact reasons which are making you feel like quitting. If the reasons can't be resolved by switching the organisation, then quit IB. Health is much more important than something toxic for which you have worked hard for.
Further, if you are that hard-working, then you can earn the same amount and prestige in some other domain as well. Give it a thought.

Get tougher and do two full years. Start looking for exits at 18 months

I genuinely hate it

put down the cup

Genuinely hate it

Hey I know I’m late but trust me finding a job while unemployed is worse. It’s always better to find a job while employed than unemployed

One of my top talents just put in his two weeks notice and I had nothing to offer him to stay. I told upper management this was going to happen! I’ve spent months asking for a promotion for him, trying to push his career forward and got no traction. I know i did my best. He knows i tried. I still believe i work at a good place but i feel like we’re losing focus. I feel my boss is leaving soon. It’s a mess.

Hello folks,

Is it true?
I would really appreciate if anyone can shed some on light on this.
