Am I setting myself up for failure if I push for associate offer?
Got a Bb offer and team is open to me joining either as a senior analyst or junior associate. With 2 yrs of ft exp and lengthy internships before that, I feel like I'm ready for the associate role. However, team head wanted to make sure that I don't underestimate the step-up it'll require on my end and that it'll be very intense. Any thoughts? Many thanks in advance!
I feel like I'd ramp up and it'll be stressful either way.

I’d say take the associate role, experienced analysts and junior associates should effectively be doing similar roles anyways

Asked for As indeed and team head accepted it without pushback; he said if it didn't feel like I could do it he wouldn't have suggested it in the first place so, fingers crossed now!

Asking for wife who's also in banking. If she got ~$100k in signing bonus in 2019 for 1 year commitment in CA and started FT in July 2020, assuming she leaves before July 2021, can her employer claw back full amount in California? Some say it's much tougher to do so under CA law but wonder if anyone has any insights. Banks won't likely care about analyst signing bonuses, but associate bonus at EB with diversity bonus can be significant. If she quits before, she won't be going to another bank.
