[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OMG OP, be less judgmental.  You just brushed off all your peers at work as fratty but most of them are probably huge nerds because that's the pool they hire from.

I was you a decade ago.  I traveled with and hung out with and bonded with my co-workers, even though they were not the normal crowd I vibed with.  All people are worthy and have something redeeming to offer if you give them a chance.

[b]Also listen to your instincts and quit after 2 years.  Find a career that better suits you. But do wait til the 2-year mark since that's the norm in consulting and pay off loans/save money first.[/b]

No way.  A job like OP’s will set her up for high paying jobs the rest of her life.  I worked in IB after college and it was a miserable few years.  Now I make a high salary with a great work/life balance.  I wouldn’t be where I am without that job on my resume.  OP is a fool if she quits that job.  She would very likely have to work just as many hours in another job and make way less money.  I’ll caveat that I think it’s easier to make more money than it is to save.  I wasn’t focused on a 401k match in my 20s.  I was focused on climbing the corporate ladder so I could earn more money.  [/quote]

But do you love your job? For some of us, that matters.  I have zero regrets about leaving consulting and love being a Fed now. [/quote]

NP here. Confused. I thought everyone does consulting and leaves after two years because it’s “up or out?” So wouldn’t OP have to leave at the two year mark? [/quote]
