What is job title because your job description sounds all over the place.
And the bold part is very disheartening.
3 weeks in, everything is still very manageable.1st week of being overemployed.
Everything flowing as planned. Just syncing up the schedule. Couldn't ask for a better setup
Job 1: Is on the East Coast.
Job 2: Is on the West Coast
and I'm on the West Coast.
It's definitely fatiguing and exhausting at times.
My east coast job, literally never has any meetings after 1pm pst, on most days I'm done around noon.
And my west coast job usually has very few meetings during the week. They're usually brief and over within 10-15 minutes. I usually don't say much, if at all. I can manage the workload for this job within 10 hours a week. I also recently said I was available for a few hours on Saturday
. So now I'll just use that time to catch up with all my shyt while getting paid.All in all, I think I can keep coasting until the program year for my west coast job ends in late June.
IT Admin.

And tomorrow's going to be my 4th day this week going into the office. To help set up the new office. I was working on the conference rooms today. I hate setting up and supporting conference rooms.
And there's issues with email. Like sometimes stuff doesn't do through. My brehs, we use Google and it was set up before I got here. How is it misconfigured? How??
I haven't figured out what's causing it yet. And then there's another issue. The company founders email group is skipping the inbox and got straight to archive.
There's other stupid stuff. Like cyber insurance forms I had to help fill out. And yesterday I had to help the building facilities guy mount the conference room TVs.
I took the job because I wanted experience with MDM and in depth SSO/IAM stuff.
There's cool projects, like switching to the new MDM. But there's never time to work on it. Like even when I come home from work, there's still other stuff to work on.
There's talk of bringing in a contractor for the mdm project, but that was like what I joined the company to do. But maybe it
And there was this Gitlab pipeline which was cool to work on. But then I didn't get it working. My manager had me work with an engineer on it and she doesn't know what's wrong either. So I haven't touched it in days. Because I've been so busy.
Tomorrow I'm meeting with the new HR head to go over how he wants to set up the new hire onboarding workflow in Jira. Then I meet with the video conferencing vendors to setup the Zoom rooms, but I think I'm already done that on my own. And then I'm meeting with Okta to talk about potentially switching from Azure.
I'm going back to padding out my calendar. For the last few weeks I've been adding time blocks to my calendar to focus on stuff because I felt all over the place and always rushing around.
This week I didn't do it and got jammed up accordingly. Yesterday my calendar was clear after noon. I decided to finish up what I was doing and head out around 12:30 for a break/run some errands. 12:15 dude slacks me talking about he needs help "real quick". I help him in the first 5 mins but he has hella other issues and now it's nearly 15 minutes in. I tell him we can set up a longer session for later, because I wasn't prepared to help him in this detail right now.
We sign off it's 12:30, he sets up a meeting starting 1:20pm I didn't even leave out until 1pm because I still had to finish what I was working on. Declined that hoe with the swiftness and set up something for 10:30am the next day because I still had to get my daughter around 2:30p, so the afternoon is dead now.
He came back with a 4:40p meeting request, I didn't even bother. Bro, I cleared my 4pm, you got me fukked up with a 4:40pm. He accepted the 10:30am.

If you're not doing a revenue generating role in Finance, don't enter the industry.

expound...no IT, no operations, no service aspects are worth it?
Comp is poor solely because the firms don't really value what you do. There are first year analysts on the revenue generating side who make more than me with five years of experience at the bank. An ED foe the most part will probably top out at 175 in non revenue. An ED on the revenue side will be at 200+ easily.
Re: IT. It depends on what the bank values. If they really care about their digital presence, they'll compensate fairly or what they believe is fair.
COVID really threw a wrench in everything because I was supposed to network with those on the revenue side to understand what they do and if interested, how to get my foot in the door.
