You don't even have to do that if you live in an at will employment state. You can walk out when you want. On the flip, they can also fire you when they want.
Got 4 months till we’re back in the office. Since I’m moving for the role I gotta grind hard over summer to prep and stack up more bread.
I legit will just have to put my head down and drown out the noise as the economy reopens for summer if not I’m gonna mess up my money for this move

I wouldn't mind that honestly. If it was a good place to work for, it provides an easy transition for them and allows you to get your affairs in order. If you are moving from a monthly to bi-weekly payment, you have time to adjust your bills and time to consider other factors. If it was a horrible place to work, I'd imagine it would make things awkward or insufferable.
I devoted time in the last 48 hours reading threads here for credit and crypto information and financial information in general and the game here is worth thousands. People pay big money for this knowledge. And nikkas rather stay in TLR trolling nonsense smh
Today was the first day of the new job. I should’ve aimed for a better role.

What is it you don't like about the job?
Midterm reviews are coming up and word on the street is management will be a bit more lenient for folks that onboarded remotely (me).
TBH, first couple months I was just getting access to systems and understanding how some processes work. It's just now, about 7 months in that I'm really getting into the meat and potatoes of my role. I think this has been one of the biggest drawbacks of this permanent WFH, not ramping up as quickly as I would have in the office which in turn delays how long it takes to get promoted
I was angling to get promoted in under 2 years (2 years is standard for this role) and then either jump into B-School or pivot within the company to one of its African offices for a 12-18 month role/project before looking at B-School.

Part of it is me generally being a whiny dude sometimes…especially when I’m complaining about career stuff.
But it also feels like I’m moving backwards. Work wise, the job is the same as my previous job was when I started back in 2019. But after some time there, I didn’t have to do much of the support grunt work and my day to day was project work.
I also didn’t realize how tired I was of low level IT work. There will be opportunity at this new place for the kinds of roles I’m interested in. But I don’t know how long I’ll have to wait.
It’s my fault because I wanted to get back to work quick so I wasn’t wasting money while not bringing any in.

I hear that. But like they say, sometimes you have to work in the mailroom before you become the CEO. As long as you got some money coming in and keeping busy, it's better than living off savings when you don't have to. As men we shouldn't be sitting around doing nothing anyway. Maybe in the meantime look for those roles you're interested in at other companies, perhaps?

Spoke on a panel with some Black bankers at my firm on Thursday as part of a scholarship program for my alma mater. Was pretty cool. Was intimidated at first but after I got settled in, I was able to give a ton of insight. Have new people to network with.
One of the bet feelings out there. I honestly enjoy networking.
What kind of job are you trying to get?
