4 months in and I’m looking to lateral to another bank. Is this normal and does anyone have any advice? I’m in a non-N.Y. office of a boutique.

Same here, though I left banking and almost immediately realized I'd made an awful decision. It's definitely not normal, but it's also utterly moronic to spend more time in a job than necessary if it's not a good fit. It'll definitely be your principal obstacle to overcome in interviews though

I'm moving to buy side peace 🤙🏼

My manager casually threw out that she had an exec tell her it’s fine if she wants to close my division down next year. We are a niche team in a large company. I asked her to clarify as I am worried about my team (and me) she said we would be “well taken care of” as in receive severance…she was so casual about it and said she didn’t know what she would do - we’re performing well, but it’s a small market. What do I do? Warn my team? Look for jobs? I have been here for 20 years w/niche skills…

I am tired(or jealous) or hearing tier-2 grads getting hired with 20-30 LPA.

When I was switching in May, some HRs(from PwC and L&T) had told that they won't be able to continue with me, since my existing offer and expectation exceeded what they can offer for a 3y exp, which was mere 15 LPA though.

So, how do these freshers (not from NITs or IITs mind you) get hired before even getting out of the college or 1-1.5 year exps, get hired with upwards of 30 LPA? Where can I find such jobs?
