For context: I'm a first year S&T analyst at a bulge bracket. I have been at my company only a few months and have only just started to feel that I am getting to grips with the work. Sometimes I find that I make mistakes/ask stupid questions/ don't always know how to do things in the best way/ or...

Sometimes I want to just straight up SNAP! I have been having a hard time with controlling myself. Been thinking about smoking some cigarettes to calm the fuck down. What do you guys do to keep your cool? Do you have sex to keep your cool? Do you just take a deep breathe? I sometimes want to go...

Hi everyone, Wanted to see if anyone in the community has any advice/experience when it comes to dealing with the anxiety and stress that comes with high-stress/pressure roles in finance. I usually tend to find myself stressing out about my responsibilities, and this is often amplified at 2am when...

我正在进入分析师时代,这是一件值得担心的浅薄事情,但我很好奇。我想,持续的压力和80多个小时以上的工作周,几乎没有睡眠,运动/自我护理的时间很少,可能会影响您的外表。显然,它会使您的身体变得乏味,但是...

Someone in the forum mentioned recently that he hates being unable to switch off. I can appreciate that because I've been there and it took me years, lots of research and working with a few mentors to understand anxiety and emotions. Being unable to switch off is not the problem. The problem is that...

Hi all, I feel that I am stuck in my situation and would really like some help. I'm currently in a direct lending role (megashop) and I've come to terms with the fact that I really just hate my job. My co workers are the most toxic people I have ever met, and I feel like I have to go to work ready...

Have you guys ever saw someone go through massive personality change (for the worse) due to extremely toxic work environment or heavy stress from work, especially in finance? Is it a common occurrence? What would you do if you saw someone going through something like that? The person isn't the same...

最近,人们有一些关于人们焦虑的线索,他们试图应对它。我确定当前的气候肯定无济于事。我还认为,没有那么多的人每天都有足够稳定的交谈(就我而言,有一个卑鄙的室友,值得庆幸的是...

Being a strong believer of data-driven wellness myself, I came across this story of a Banker and his journey on quantified health. He talks about how and why he measures his metabolic profile. Interesting read and learning for all of us. https://www.fitnescity.com/blog/for-bankers-who-w…

What are some roles with a combination of: Lifestyle (9-5) Decent pay ($125K in high COL region) Relatively low stress (limited fire drills, limited risk or potential for major mistakes) Demand (not super niche, potential to work in a relatively wide range of industries and companies) For those of...

Pretty much everyone from this industry is from at-least a cushy middle middle class background, hasn't faced any real adversity in their entire life but then they'll turn around and use jargon which hints at war or toughness in some sense. "This is a very stressful job, how will you handle...". Oh...

We all have those days where we're on the verge of exploding from either school or work stress. The concept of "me time" is slowly fading with busy schedules and lifestyles that pride constant work over relaxation. But, it's important to relieve stress from time to time before it becomes...

我相信你们中的许多人,标题有点disconcerting, especially if you've just done a couple 100+ hour weeks. Sadly, according to data compiled from O*NET (Occupational Information Network), this appears to be the case, as shown in a list of the top 14 most stressful jobs in America. Now,...

Frequent poster, posting under a new account given the personal nature of this post. Background, I am an incoming senior at a regional target. Like most of you, I am generally surrounded by the smartest, most competitive, and most driven students at my school. Going through recruiting last year was...

Just a little background. I graduated from college this past August, moved from the South to NYC in January, started working in VC, studying for Series 7,63,79. 23 years old. Working between 70-80 hours a week.

Currently an analyst at a top sweatshop group (GS TMT/MS M&A/Lazard/MoCo LA), just finished my 9th week in a row of 95 -140 hour weeks. Having trouble dealing with the hours. It was a lot easier coping during my internship/fall because there was an end to the internship/fun events and in the fall...

One of the things I hate most about banking is the high pressure / stress that gets put on the analysts from the rest of the team. I honestly think I could deal much better with external stress (ie: from markets), but I have a suspicion that hedge funds may even be more stressful than banking since...

I finished my last article with the sentence "There are actually several ways to break out of operations" but before you break out you need to survive first. Believe me, the back office seems to be more relaxed than it actually is. Depending on what markets you cover it might happen that you work...

Another dreadful day, loads of requests flying in, the bosses going mad and people keep yelling around for no apparent reason (its still the end of the summer, there should not be this type of disruption yet). After getting some price issues sorted out and trying to understand one of the factset...

Found this interesting article at the crack of dawn. Oddly enough on my way to the gym. The premise is how our bodies atrophy without regular stress (exercise) when we age. How this can also be applied to our minds. And basically that stress can be good for you. How have you pushed yourself? Was it...

How do you work those ungodly hours and pretend that they don't bother you? How do you keep a smile on your face in front of your MDs or do you just not smile? Isn't it difficult to contain the stress and lack of sleep from showing? Is it normal to dread Sunday nights?

Have any of you guys ever felt like just dropping the ball and not aim for top jobs but instead to settle for a random, normal job? I'm still a college student but I'm really starting to hate the competitive atmosphere of reaching ibank. I'm not even in a hard major atm and I'm constantly stressed...

Serious four questions please. Context: + Sometimes being with my girlfriend can take over an hour and it exhausts me. And when I sleep after that I'm really exhausted. I feel I have low energy on the morning after and sometimes feel weaker at the gym. + She's quite demanding sometimes. Sometimes 3...

I graduated from Carnegie Mellon. The workload was tough. I have heard that Chicago, CalTech, Cornell, and Cooper Union is tough as well. That leads me to wonder - do the top D-1 colleges (HYPS, Duke, etc) have high workloads? On one side of the argument, I was annoyed throughout college because I...

Financial meltdown? Pfft, here is something worse! They are...cold sores! Who else hates these damn things!? If someone has a remedy that can help speed the healing process, please do share.
