Was supposed to take vacation after this deal ended but immediately got rolled onto another live deal. Always one thing after another. Look up and it's been a year since I've taken vacation....

Just tell your staffer next time that you are taking PTO after the deal is signed.

You should know the exact date of signing about a month in advance, and should have a general range even before that.

Effin hate this industry for this very reason. No other professional services firms treat PTO the way IB does. It’s a joke. Leaving fast quick and in a hurry. Point of making this $ is to be able to enjoy it. There’s time for everything under the sun.

OP - do you have an S/O that you have to explain this to?

Work your butt off, make a lot of money. You can take a year off down the road!

“Down the road” is never guaranteed.

VENT: I feel completely demotivated after our new FOW announcement and it gave me whiplash.

I didn’t choose to live here/move, the company chose ME where I’m at. I feel like I don’t belong because everyone else seems happy with this.

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?
