WHO?

Yes, but Paul, Weiss is a contender as well and willing to go so far as to drop the comma and name the firm “Nelson Paul”

likefunny

I am pretty sure Paul, Weiss would settle just for the firm to be Kirkland, Ellis. The comma is a more important contribution then any named partner.

Would you take a paycut / same salary you were making to move from NYC to Philadelphia, if the role was an industry opportunity in the tech/product space and more aligned with your interests and career goals?

Always read about people moving to industry for 20%+ increases with RSUs, but the offer for my move is about the same I'm making now in NYC. Think I will take it anyway but curious to hear the consensus view.

Would anyone recommend or share a side hustle that would complement a banker’s 8-5 M-F schedule? As of now, I do an hour DoorDash before work and after work I do DoorDash and Instacart for a couple hours. I do this as well on the weekends targeting about $200-300 a week since I am in a really small market. Looking for more creative, cost effective, and efficient ways I can supplement my average salary. TIA!
