I’m in the same boat!! I’m a newer hire too so I’m anxious to get staffed on my first engagement!

Is it the company's or yours responsibility to get out of the bench? I mean didn't they hire you at first place to cover an existing role ?

Technically it is my responsibility but I’ve leveraged every connection I have and training I’ve done. It’s like there’s no demand

Yup same here. I’ve been applying to so many roles. Don’t worry we’ll get there :)

(3) Any idea till when WFH will last? Thanks 🙏

Hey y’all. Would love to get some thoughts from people about buying vintage watches and what resources you might use to evaluate a piece before you buy.

I’ve only ever bought new watches but am in love with some vintage pieces. I’m not really sure where to start with resources to do my due diligence and ensure I’m not massively over paying or buying something that no watch maker today could really service.

Would love some thoughts from the bowl on any vintage buys y’all have done.

Thanks!

Considering all the bulge brackets just announced 100k base for 1st year Analysts and that every year you go up 5k, that makes me feel like they are trying to lowball. I stupidly gave a salary range during the interview of 110-140k, cuz I was guessing, but I know JPM pays 130k base for the same role. How do I get myself to 130? First time negotiating, any advice appreciated!!!
