Guys, I started a 9 to 5 job a few weeks ago with a prestigious employer, in an office, with a really good level of responsibility.

Why do I have barely any free time after work, commuting back home, gym, and eating?

Why do I feel so mentally tired after work when my job is brain-dead?

Why do I still feel like a loser when I see the Staceys on the underground?

Why do chores wreck my evenings?

Why is a good job, minus London rent for a tiny studio flat, leaving me with only £200 to save each month... and that's if I don't binge on junk food?

Why is it do excruciating to be around normies at work? Why is office work a socialising contest first and foremost?

>> No.15758505

>> No.15758517

Because London is an overpriced shithole for everyone except the top 1% of wagies and the wealthy. I live in this city too and lived a similar life to yourself and I’m leaving tomorrow for greener pastures because fuck this shithole and everything that it represents.

Get out before the city consumes you, before you know it 10 years will have passed.

50 hours is nothing. This thread is 10/10 troll material. I used to work 110 hours a week. My average is probably 70 hours. Luckily I have a job now where I work less than 50 and it's nothing.

>> No.15758878

>>15758842
Honestly, realistically only 50-55+ consistently out of busy season and maybe 60-70 within. That's assuming I'm not working weekends to catch up which can add another 5-10 hours. Not horrific compared to IB or similar but the work is soul crushingly dull and unfulfilling for one half the pay.

I worked in accountancy. It is fucking shit, and you're right, it is filled with guys that 150 years ago would be toiling the fields but have bought a cheap Marks & Spencer's suit and LARP as actual worthwhile human beings and as if what they do is important when it is just bullshit makework.

"Do much on the weekend?"
"See the footy last night?"

Pretty much the only topics of conversation these cunts could muster. It is a mass of fresh graduate wageslaves precided over by a layer of managers who are bluepilled NPCs that bought into the company culture shit and pledged fealty to the partners who just skim value off everyone below them whilst going on golf trips with their boomer CEO friends. The good thing is 99% of what they do will be automated within 10 years.

Yout don't make 300k in audit at 32. If you think this you are believing the lies fed to you.

Let's say you start with 50k gbp in audit, you make 80k gbp after 4 years. 140k after 8. 200k+ gbp at Partner level. MAX

Ugh, someone who was 21 and started then would be making over £100k at 30. That's a large amount compared to my current company, where I will be making £50k at age 30 or just before, if all goes well.

Average =/= median. Median was closer to $2000 a year in the 20s. That being said, being able to buy a large family home with a single year's income and only 3% tax is obviously excellent compared to what we have today.

Such defeatist shit
Even for the long swathes of my adult life that I had no friends or even people to talk to, I still just kept living
Just fuckin play Minecraft for God's fuckin sake
The only way is to be thankful for the things that you do have
Even if you can indeed assume that you are so /actively/ terrible that no one will like you, if you live in the western world you can still have a good house and eat plentiful food and watch endless stupid entertainment and play videogames until you die
That isn't the worst life, humans have undergone far worse

Most of these such posts I suspect are from people who are just highly socially anxious (like me)
The problem is, humans overall are lonely enough and isolated from eachother enough that they WILL associate with anyone who is not ACTIVELY terrible or mean or aggressive or hypocritical toward others
If you are one of this group (and you realize it yourself) then there is no real reason to pity you since you are causing woe to other people by your own will and won't do what's needed to get what you want which is friends
