More just work hard than play hard. Very high hours. Work is mostly commitment papers and follow on work from that. Almost all lender side work.

Actually, 100% agree. They do play hard but that’s very infrequent. Commitment papers also drain the life out of you (think sudden influx of work at 5pm on Fridays with turns needed by Sunday evening). I hated working on them from the specialist side and always felt bad for the LevFin folks.

Work hard party hard (former Milbanker though not in Lev Fin).

Hey All,
I finished a third round interview, and HR contacted me that afternoon saying I had positive feedback across the board and they would contact me the next day regarding next steps. It’s been two days and they finally get back to me saying they haven’t been able to sync with the hiring manager but will keep me posted. Honestly I wish they would talk with the hiring manager and then let me know the decision instead of checking in. It’s messing with my emotions.
