Wow.
Got another IB interview. Looks like the Sales and Trading dream is dead, no one will ever consider me for S&T again :( What the fuck, IB is what I wanted to get away from, but it's all that keeps coming back.
2 next week...When it was just one, I felt OK, but 2...now I'm kind of nervous. The one that came today is the big one, probably would be the highest paying, most hours, most experience, most prestige.
But fuck that. I just want a life. I don't want to be in a cubicle 70% of the next 3 years. Fuck. My heart is fighting it so much, I don't want to do IB in the future :(
ARG. But I must :( Is life really supposed to be about this much sacrifice?
Congrats on another interview! I know it's hard but you're prepping for your future. Just think of your wallet bursting with disposable income and all the awesome things you'll get to buy to comfort yourself. And you never know, you just might get that call from some S&T place so keep sending out those job apps.
Thanks for the encouragement! I've thought it through and come to terms with it. I'd be lucky to get this job, and if anything, it'll only be 2 or 3 years, and it'll open so many doors in the future.
Btw, let's see your new glasses.
hey, keeping going to those interviews, it's good practice if anything! Don't give up... searching for a career takes a lot of time and hard work.
You're right, if anything, it's an opportunity to practise!
The interviews are on Monday & Tuesday, I'll let you guys know how they go hehe...
Even if I don't get it (and I'm preparing myself for failure right now) I don't think I'd want want to waste the next few years of my youth anyway. But better to try and fail than to never try at all. But then...failure is not an option...I need a job!!
