Top notch shop, very difficult to break into. If you have an opportunity to join their deal team, it would be a very good learning experience and pays well. Everyone I’ve worked with there and known personally was very sharp and incredibly hardworking. Don’t know anything about their Toronto office bc everything I know about them is from NY office.

My boss assigns projects with unclear expectations and provides no guidance on how to achieve them.

I've asked for help, and, to avoid a long post, she expects me to figure it out. Perhaps you go through this too, but when I don't have a clear guide on completing big projects, it paralyzes me because I don't know where to start. On top of that, I have anxiety, so "it has to be perfect".

How do you approach projects when your boss plays the "guess what's in my head" game?
