"Unhappiness is more common than happiness. Who told you you should be happy?"

You know what I regret about my 20s? Chasing tail instead of chasing benjamins.

Personal development isn't something that can ONLY be attained through studying/career. As soon as you start viewing socialising, going out, hitting up girls etc as a form of personal development as well you'll find that social development is important too.

maybe think outside the box if nothing is working. Meet a foreign woman with different values if you can . American women are getting crazier all the time and its hard for some of us to deal with no matter how much psychology we study.

My biggest and toughest pill to swallow had been learning to embrace suffering...suffering is part of life, learn to suffer happily...of course not all of life is suffering but if you can master the down times, imo, you are a strong and wise person...better able to meet whatever ypur fate my be...no one knows...

I'm not happy though. No gfs/plates ever.

You've got other issues, you need to try new things and discover hobbies. If you're not lifting already then start, set yourself a vision. I also recommend doing martial arts. A girlfriend is like a protein shake, It should be a supplement to your already healthy/happy lifestyle.

Side question but how'd you get into investment banking? How do you cut it into that field?

I was in a similar boat. Star at my investment firm doing 12-14 hours a day including Saturday. Wasn't at the gym enough wasn't hanging out with non work people. I got to a point about 6 months ago where I cut back to 40-60 hours a week. I realized I wasn't getting that much more done in the last few hours a day so just be more efficient. Been back in the gym religiously and view the social aspect as personal development as well. All work and no play makes jack a dull boy. Don't do anything drastic with your career though. The money will got you options. My goal is to be able to retire in 7 years (34) I'm 27 now. I don't know that I would retire but I want to be able to. Then you have the flexibility that 99% of the population doesn't have.
