I was expecting that Thursday in February to be a normal day at work. I hadn't expected to be lying on the office floor thinking that I needed to quit my investment banking job — yet there I was.
Minutes after fainting, in the ambulance en route to the hospital, I contemplated the choices that had led me to that moment.
The allure of an investment banking job is seductive. It attracts starry-eyed college students with irresistible promises: An opportunity to execute multibillion-dollar transactions for the world's largest corporations. A six-figure salary. Access to boardrooms and C-suite executives. A stepping stone to even more lucrative private equity careers.
