Yes, I was told they’re becoming sweat shops like K&E

STB finance has some pretty nice people but don't be surprised if you're on matters just you and a partner. That group in particular staffs quite leanly

Echo this

Either choice would be ok

Not sure if it’s still accurate, but when I was there, STB NYC’s finance group was known to have some of the nicest people of any of the corporate / transactional groups

People who don’t submit their time daily, how do you remember what you did and for how long?
