When You’re Stuck Between “Staying” and “Starting Over

It’s the end of my internship and yes, I got converted.

But here’s the truth: I don’t know if this is where I’m meant to be. I’ve been pulling all-nighters for weeks, juggling a major presentation tomorrow, and silently battling health issues that have been getting worse. Somewhere between the deadlines and deliverables, I’ve lost my rhythm and maybe, a little bit of myself.

On paper, I’m an MBA with a knack for finance, a love for building things, and skills in tech, marketing, and people management. I dream of high-growth roles investment management, program management, product, strategy. But right now, I feel… stuck. I can’t quit without another offer in hand, but staying without clarity feels like standing in quicksand.

To the pros here what would you do in my place? How do you make the call between staying and starting over? Any advice, referrals, or even just perspective would mean the world right now.
