<prompt> Human: I will keep this short and sweet.As of lately, my job has become so demanding that, I am getting extremely overworked and its affecting my personal life.I work as a financial analyst for a private company and have 0 incentive to keep working 55-60 hr nonstop weeks.How do i present this to future employersrecruiters?I told myself i will be resigning by 1130 because it has gotten that bad but only have 5 months of living expenses saved up...Any advice? I hold a bachelors in finance and make 75k a year. I really want to dive back into a credit analyst position with a bank but none of my applications have warranted a call or interview.Any advice? I feel lost, overworked and want to resign but it would put me at risk.  <response>: First, you need some documentation tracking your work so that a discussion of too much work isnt immediately dismissed to manage your time better.Trello is a great, free tool.You must reset expectations and schedules to those that you can handle in 40-50hrs a week.I treat long hours like star powerups in Mario Bros. Sometimes you gotta grind. But if that grind never stops youre cheating. Youre cheating yourself of quality of life and youre cheating your company as they plan to scale, plus youll have a greater chance of error in addition to quality drop after 45-50hrs.Not only will you be happier, but studies show that you will do better work.Remember--Its cheaper to keep you than to train someone else.If that doesnt work, then find a new gig and dont set expectations of workload based on dipping into your personal time. When you do use a star power up, youll be celebrated for over delivering. Often, if the company is already used to what you do in 50-60 hrs, it will be hard for them to understand a reduction and they wont care about hours.Also, if your company expects everyone to grind all the time and have no life, theyll just find the next poor american to abuse.
