Finally Quit
That's it really - this forum was really important to me in school so felt compelled to make a post. Couldn't take COVID or the job anymore, so I'm dipping out of industry completely. Good luck everyone sticking it out, it's just not for me.

Well done.
I applaud the courage of anyone who sees their work/life balance deteriorating and deciding to pivot.
I myself recently switched fromIBto CB and should have done this a LONG time ago. CB is still demanding, but I've gained on average 20-30 hrs of my life back while only slightly discounting my overall pay.

Corporate banking pays you 100% bonus?
No, CB bonuses are definitely discounted and this varies a lot per shop. Some analysts will get up to 40% and some shops can pay up to 70%, but never 100% for analysts.
Glad to see you have the courage. There are many nights I'd sit in front of my desktop and think about days and nights I had in college trying to break in this industry, only reason why I haven't quit
Would you mind speaking to how you went about the job hunt? I'm also looking to quit...
What will you be doing next? Do you have job lined up?
Congratulationsjimmyjams, I wish you all the best in the new chapter of your life.

Just want to say... good for you for recognizing it wasn't something you liked and doing something about it. Far too many people stick it out for the wrong reasons and continue being more and more miserable. It takes a lot to step back and say this isn't for you. Hopefully you find something you're more passionate about and it leads to something more rewarding. Be well
