Bro. I run with a dozen guys like you. Come join a group. Brooklyn Track Club if you want to be super competitive again, North Brooklyn Runners if you want to be competitive and have fun.
Both groups have runs that work in your schedule.

Become a teacher. Can't be fired (zero accountability stress), 180 calendar workdays, pension, clock out at 2:30pm. It's literally a dream gig especially for people who can't handle a high stress competitive business environment (you).

I look at myself now and hate what I see in the mirror. I’m working in New York at a big bank, I’m a first year intern so basically my whole job is bringing entitled jerks coffee while I beg for scraps of how to manage the big deals and trades. Three of my cointerns have quit because of stress, the rest are miserable.
These days when I have a free moment, I pull up my old pics of me competing in college. I look at that guy, and look back down at my gut, and I’m disgusted at what they have made me become—what I let myself become, a fat, burned out, angry, balding, bitter person, barely keeping up, barely making the next day to get screamed at again.
I don’t or won’t run anymore, I have no time, so it’s two pumps of that sugary syrup to the “America runs on Dunkin’” drink I got chilling by my side.
my cointerns swear by adderall and ozempic to keep the weight off, on our few rare days off we get blacked out drunk and make horrible decisions. To a man not one is in a committed relationship.
I can’t help but look at my old running pics and hate who I see before me, wondering only “What if”?
Your job is a waste of time as it contributes nothing to society. It will probably become automated in time.
No healthy person works 100 hours a week.
Either retrain in a job with sensible hours or leave corporate America.
Have you considered knobbing off your boss for less hours and a quicker promotion?

What school did you attend?

There is no excuse for being fat even if all of what you said is true.
Eat less.
Even a sedentary guy who only eats things from Dunkin can slim down if he were to limit himself to 1600 calories a day.
I doubt this is real, but if so you can get by with a decent diet (and yes adderall does help, but not advisable).
Stick it out a couple years, cut way back on the sugar and alcohol. Once you have a couple of years experience, find another company where you can work 40-50 hour weeks.
I live near Raymond James headquarters in St. Pete, and I don’t think those guys are doing anywhere near 100hrs. The one guy I know there who is management level works from home twice per week and doesn’t work weekends.
The gist of this is that you can have a good high paying job in Finance and still have time to run 60-80MPW.
Please documentt a typical week to include commute.
In the world of engineering, my remote work life involves "cross-functional teams" across international timezones. I am reminded every morning at 7am that I have a job via mandatory video meetings. Also, most every time 2:30pm rolls around and I happen to not be looking as caffeine stimulus is waning, a west coast QA pings my inboxes with annoying questions.
Thus, I have a 3:30-rule as of summer 2022: if I have been working since 7am I should go run if it is 3:30.
Also, you should bike to run errands. Morning swims help plus you get a shower transition.
Consistency is better than non-consistency. Exercise helps to alleviate stress and synthesize
Unless thing's have changed, there's no such thing as a "first year intern" in the investment banking world, whatever that means.
You intern during the summers when you're still in school.
The term you're looking for is "first year analyst."
This has enough corniness to be fake. What is a first year intern?

Looks on the bright side. When the Trumpcession hits and you’re out of a job, you’ll have more time to exercise.
do the ketogenic diet wrote:
the keto diet is like nature's ozempic pill. without the side effects.
the sugary, high-carb diet is making you gain weight. Drink your coffee black, like your soul, eat eggs for breakfast, steak, meat, fish, ditch the doughnuts. lower your carb intake.
If you like a drink, also remember that spirits are zero carb. And remember to mix your gin with low calorie tonic! Beer and wine are best avoided.
If you manage to get into ketosis (requiring max 30g to 50g carbohydrate per day), you should feel you have more energy and generally feel better as well.
Can you run into work? I found that was a really helpful way to avoid the stress of the commute as well as keep fit.
Last thing: at the beginning of your career, no one holds it against you if you switch jobs. Hang in for at least 12 months (if you haven’t already) and then see what you want to do. Life is too short to suffer endlessly.
Good luck!
my friend, read the psych of money by morgan housel.
my rec to you is to take a less intense job (with less money) and do what u love on ur free time (running).
life is too precious n short. also, running performances decline (rapidly) for most people around years 35-40.
you will regret when u get older.

No way you are working 100 a week. That’s like working 14hrs a day 7 days a week. Impossible. No one works those kind of hours.
There is no amount of money you could pay me to have a job that I hated. My health and mental well being are more important. I would look for another job, change your diet, start working out and you will be much happier and likely feel better about yourself!
how did this initial post get more upvotes than downvotes, are people here that gullible. 100/hr a week is 20 hours for 5 business days. Even if he is somehow working 7 days a week at a bank that is over 14 hours a day.
This is the lowest level troll post and idiots on here eat it up
Also, whatever a first year intern is, I don't think many of them are taking ozempic to lose weight. Weird low-effort post getting serious responses.
To me, it sounds like you are being used and abused. Why not just find a job where you are treated with respect?
Office Space is one of my favorite movies. The main character is an IT guy during the 90s tech bubble who hates his job and hates his life. His boss always asks him to stay late on Fridays and work on the weekends.
His solution? He simply realizes that he isn't actually trapped and takes a job working construction with his best friend. The movie ends with the two of them shoveling dirt to build a new McDonalds with big smiles on their faces.
You're never trapped. You never have to do what society tells us to do so long as you are behaving ethically.

so you think the answer to life is difficult manual labor that pays minimum wage in order to construct a McDonald's
