Extremely challenging and somewhat rewarding. For me the learning curve was extremely steep. It is a very fast paced and more real time environment. I would say it was a good move for me, but I have known others with a similar move and it wasn’t for them. Just depends on the person a lot. Are you considering making a move?

I am considering a move, but not sure it’s the right one for me.. I would enjoy normal working hours and a better WLB but I’m not a quick person by nature and ultra fast paced environments stress me out.. M&A itself goes fast, but nowhere near a hedge fund I’m assuming

Did Republicans think this through? Are they assuming they’re now powerful enough they can stop the electoral reaction to this? I’m seeing people radicalizing in real time across my social networks. Republicans supporting Biden. Formerly moderate Democrats coming out in favor of court-packing.

Was this all really worth it?

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.
