^ depends whether or not his juniors are terrible. Could also mean he does *EVERYTHING*

Thanks for the advice, looking to lateral as we speak. Feedback from seniors was it’s your job to make sure every number is right (I’m an analyst promote). This is soul crushing and not developing my career while other analysts go home before me.

Good luck man. Sounds like you’re in a tough spot. Btw when you’re deep in the weeds, what’re the associate and analyst doing? I hope they know they’re performing like dogshit. As long as you’re giving them training, their lives should suck even more than yours if you’re stuck cleaning us their messes

^ hit the nail on the head. Juniors are terrible. If I don’t go into excel and check every cell something will be wrong and I will be chewed out

Oh Jesus I’ve been there. My advice would be to make sure you’ve got a sense for life with a better team before you decide anything. The VP years really can be relatively stress free. Even lateral if you have to. The only reason to quit would be if you can’t see yourself on the sell side in the long run

Elite boutique so lean deal teams. Don’t have an associate since VP1. Analyst is dogshit and nothing I can do to make him better since our firm policy is not to fire analysts. It’s just hard to motivate someone when they don’t care and know I will clean everything up, with zero repercussion besides a bad bonus

The amount of people, even attorneys, who can't separate out the policy merits of abortion from the issue of whether it is a constitutional right is disappointing. I consider myself pro-choice ---I believe states should allow it, that the federal government can pass a statute to guarantee it, and that FDA statutes and regulations will preempt any state trying to ban chemical abortions through FDA approved drugs. Dobbs at its core is a case about the Due Process Clause, not the policy of abortion

Do people tend to age out of wanting to FIRE?

In your 20s-30s, you don’t know much, you’re told what to do, you have few financial resources so you are tied to your job. Under these circumstances it makes perfect sense why you would want to FIRE asap.

But eventually you advance up the ladder, you are now the boss and your people do all the grunt work. You also have built up expertise which makes the job easier. And you are making the best money of your life. FIRE is no longer so pressing.
