Bored out of my mind

Didn't manage to get into aBB/EB/MMbecause of lack of relevant experience despite good/excellent academics. I ended up at a boutique which is more of acorporate finance shop- I don'工作IBDhours, and I don't get paidIBDcomp. The work itself is repetitive and although I am consistently asking for more work, I find myself having literally nothing to do at times, so I just endlessly browse the web and readWSO. This feels more like a "lifestyle" job. The team is friendly, we have lots of perks, but the work in itself is slow-paced. And I'm bored out of my mind. I've been trying to lateral toBB/EBsto go through the actualIBDgrinder and get nice exit opps, without much luck for the moment.

I feel kind of lost. Not even sad, but I feel like I'm waiting for something that's not coming and I don't know what to do. It's kind of ironic that I want to work 100 hours a week but don't even have the opportunity to do so, isn't it? I feel like I'm wasting my time, that life "hasn't started yet". I lackmomentumand am bored out of my mind. What the fuck should I do?

Any random idiot who can type up a stupid post isn't entitled immediately to a response. Chill the fuck out.

I'm in a similar spot and yes, I work in banking. NotBBorEB尽管。这听起来很荒谬吗?不是。除了1名其他分析师外,我目前的队友是极其无能为力的。

工人更努力地扩大您的选择。学习和发展新技能。不要限制自己的公司金融类型工作。

让我们提起一句话,看看我们对此的看法,只需尝试判断它一分钟:“如果您无聊,就无聊了。”

尽管这种情绪可能很难处理(这使您认为是对您强加的状态,而是将其变成您自己的基本特征),但这种概念的元素是真实的。我们很无聊,因为我们是如此的想象力,以至于无法填补空隙。您有互联网连接。找到您喜欢的电影或音乐的类型(我明白,可能无法在工作中拉动它)。阅读有关Wikipedia的文章,涉及您从未想过会读过的主题,然后深入研究脚注,其他文章以及更广泛的搜索。拿起一些奇怪的爱好。我的之一是天体导航。我不是水手,但我喜欢使用星级测量值来确定没有GPS的位置,并且只使用了几个世纪的旧技术。找到可以做其他人的事情。新颖的人赋予了所有足够想象力的人。

I mean the first thing that comes to mind besides just directly trying to lateral toBB/EBis to build up relevant side projects that can signal to recruiters that you have a passion for finance outside of just your existing work experience (especially since it seems your existing work experience doesn't cut it).

This can manifest in a variety of ways - grinding theCFAexam, writing on a platform (a blog, medium,seeking alpha,ect。)并通过潜水进入股票或企业(一个朋友的朋友实际上写了如此出色的中等文章,以至于老虎幼崽直接伸出去,并在他还在大学时给了他第一轮),参加Aswath Damodarans公司财务或估值课程等在线课程,阅读具有出色应用的书籍(Rosenbaum Investment BankingBook,麦肯锡估值第七版, ect. ), self learning other skills that make you more marketable like knowledge of cryptocurrency & blockchain or programming, starting projects on the side (maybe pool some money with friends and start a small hedge fund; that's what im currently doing and I love it.

列表还在不断。关键是您肯定可以做很多事情来帮助改善您的长期前景 - 他们可能需要一段时间才能忍受果实,但这有时就是这样。另外,如果您真的很磨,并且正在生产高素质的工作,那就不应该花了很长时间了。如果花费的时间比预期的要长,那么这可能表明您需要在准备在其他地方进行某种侧面之前学习更多。现在,如果您要求一个简单的修复程序,我不能真正提供一个人,而是建议您看不起三级亲戚列表,并希望其中一个有联系,可以使您在更好的公司前门穿过前门。

希望这可以帮助!

Find more productive things to do at work. It doesn't sound like you're trying hard enough.

有类似的工作。我只是花了一些时间来掌握新技能 - 6个月后,我开发了一系列计划来自动化工作中更平凡的工作……这具有讽刺意味的是,这使我的工作更少。

您不能因为不上班100小时而对自己感到无聊而bit之以鼻。如果您愿意那样糟糕,您就不会有时间感到无聊。

Flip your mindset from I should be in banking to they're not keeping me out of banking and you'll be in much better shape. If you really enjoy 100hr weeks that should be easy :)

您有空闲时间来掌握新技能并开始一些助攻。利用它。

Start a side gig boss. I get it, you don't wanna do something that doesn't produce income. Flip houses if you have to
