The job market is difficult to master and unpredictable most of the time. This is why I chose to pursue something more outside of my job in the entrepreneurial space. The connections I have made and the mindset I have developed are miles ahead of what I learned in college, which gives me hope for an amazing life. The banking industry is great, but not better than what I could do with more of my time back.

I agree that it's important to find a balance between what we do at work and what really matters. When I am completely and totally focused on work, I feel my mental health start to decline. But when I'm engaging in physical activities, social events, hobbies, and family time, I feel like a much happier and healthier person.

Absolutely, a diverse stream of income is so important. I will never rely solely on one form of income; I prefer to have three or four, if possible.

There is something extremely satisfying about knowing you have a plan b, just in case. I have tried to diversify my skills and learned a lot about myself during that time. Put a lot of time in other areas and they are finally starting to pay me back, in the literal and metaphorical sense.

This gives me a lot of hope for the future, so thank you! I've been feeling pretty down about the job market lately and want to try to follow your footsteps. How did you know what path to follow in the entrepreneurial realm? I want that for myself, but don't really know where to even begin.

To keep it short here, it was a connection to someone further ahead in life who had a life I wanted to create. They’ve been willing to guide me on creating something similar. Don’t want to go crazy in depth on a GlassDoor thread lol, but I am more than happy to chat more through LinkedIn (Christian Kliem).

When I negotiated my comp, all my discussions were around me being a junior and I only accepted my comp for that reason (would not have accepted if I was step above junior since it was low). Negotiations happened with HR, but my offer letter and documents never mention junior (but I have proof from HR saying I am a junior). How do I approach this with my boss as I’m not sure she’s aware I’m actually technically a junior? Revolving around asking for a move up + raise

Is IB worth the sacrifice of WLB? Obvious pay is really good but are the prestige and pay worth it if you’re planning on only doing it for a couple years?

Currently working at an IRA with great WLB. Honestly I love my job, the firm, and people I work with.

Also doing MBA part time at a T15 school. Thinking about switching to IB but I’ve done my research and I think I would burn out of IB in two years but I might be ok with that for the opportunities after.
