Been in banking for 16 years and think about wakking out daily. No kids and wife has a good job. My boss is retiring in 1 year, but you could not pay me enough to take his job. Giving myself one year max to find something else for a 2nd career. Would like a job with the Fed or other type work, but not easy to come by...

Take a year off and travel. I can imagine you are. I'm 31 and feel burned out. 
ETA: Move to Chiang Mai, Thailand. You can live like a king for $800 a month.

Sound like my uncle 3-4 years ago.
He left a job he hated at a big bank and is now at a small local financial planning firm and loves it.
He's now a nice person to be around ever since he left that old job.

Flow... what area of banking are you in?
I was in the consulting business for six years and just took a job in the industry.

Life's too short, my friend. Assuming you have some decent savings, take a year or 2 off and travel/build/etc. I'm guessing after awhile you will be itching to do something and whatever it is will be a whole lot more fun for you.
Good luck!

Everybody gets burned out.
Start looking for a different job.

Flow, shoot me an email at lsutigerz2001@yahoo.com. I'm new to the banking industry on the vendor side and while you probably hate vendors, I would like to pick your brain a little. I'm fresh out of school and new to the industry so would like to ask a few questions to see what makes you guys tick. You might be burned out, but you definitely have the experience to help a guy like me.
I second traveling. I went to Europe for 2 months after graduation and am taking 10 days to go to SE Asia later this year. Sometimes it's just enough to recharge the batteries until the next time. Best of luck to you

The regulatory pressure coming down and already down on regional and local banks is just too damn much.
I am one of the best in the business and I want to walk away damn near every day - take a year off and find something else.
There will have to be a wave of mergers to be able to handle all of the regulatory and compliance costs....I need to be able to capitalize on that.
