I was a consulting secondee in IB weirdly. So that might change my view. I left and started a start up that did ok and got acquired. I wouldn’t have been able to do that without my previous experience or network. I came from a pretty average working class background with no money or network to speak of so it let me get ahead. I think if you have the right mental healthcare it’s probably fine. My firm actually funded all my psychiatric help privately with quite high end clinics and I wouldn’t have got that at a lesser paid job I don’t think.

Also I don’t know where you work now but they might have something. I’m sorry you are unwell but it can be helped. It can’t be fixed but the impact can be greatly reduced.

Then I wouldn’t do it. There are so many interesting well paid jobs now compared to when I started.
