I WILL HOLD THIS JOB FOR AT LEAST A YEAR
I WILL PASS MY LEVEL 3 CFA EXAM NEXT JANUARY
I WILL MAKE IT OVER THIS MOUNTAIN

Work continues to be extremely difficult. I’m working under rough conditions, I feel like I’m constantly under stress. I’m working 50 to 60 hours a week at a bulge bank and consistently feel like the stupidest person in the world. But I need to dig in and persevere. I have the strength in me to endure this job until something better appears. I will make it

Work sucks so much that studying almost feels relaxing. I’m so grateful to have a path out of this hell. Some days are great, some days are terrible. But they’re both part of the path to the summit. I can see my destination, I just need to move inch by inch towards it. I’m ready to see the top of the mountain

We may be in the summit or we may be close to the peak But keep on moving forward, no matter what the conditions. The top awaits us all
