I’m in Denver pulling $95k base, and I’m starting to think I made a massive mistake by choosing work-life balance over a front-office grind. I love leaving the office by 6:00 PM, but seeing the first-year IB guys pulling down six-figure bonuses is demoralizing. Is the only way to break the $150k barrier before turning 30 to move into a revenue-generating role?
Leadership question: When a supervisor asks for your honest opinion about a coworker, how candid should you be? Do you give your unfiltered assessment if you believe the person is underperforming or relying too heavily on others, or do you focus only on objective facts and let management draw its own conclusions? Curious how others have handled this situation.
Does anyone here actually meal prep? Any tips? I just looked at my DoorDash history for the month and I spent more on delivery fees and tips than I did on my actual car payment. Between the 14-hour days and the lack of energy to even boil water, I’ve basically outsourced my entire diet to various apps. And yes, I’m putting on weight.
I think one thing to keep in mind is QS is not a great rating. It's the lowest rating you can get without being in disciplinary action. You want to try to aim for Quality High. Also, asking the hiring managers, whom you shortlisted with, for feedback on your interview or what they are looking for in your background will go a long way as well in helping you set goals. Just my thoughts as someone who went through that fairly recent.
