Also, if you're open to Jersey city, why wouldn't you just work in NYC and live in jersey city or Hoboken? Goldman Sachs and JPM are pretty established in JC. UBS is in weehawken, but they're moving a lot of operations to Nashville if you're open to that.

OP - research Charlotte

I'm in Charlotte at Bank of America now as a contractor doing CCAR work and it's a great option, good work life balance too. Reasonable cost of living, decent downtown and the Dilworth, NoDA and Midwood neighborhoods all have a lot to offer. If I didn't love Chicago so much I'd strongly consider moving here

What positions are you applying to?

Bank of America seems like a great option for you

Man, people always have to be negative on here

Yeah isn't Wells Fargo somewhere else too? Don't listen to negative replies- generally indicates they don't do a lot of thinking

PNC bank is based in Pittsburgh

@OP where do you live now and where are you willing to move? And I'm sure OP wouldn't want to move only to find out he's moving into a terrible work environment. JPM also has operations in jersey and Delaware.

Pittsburgh? Really? 🤔 not trying to be snarky just wanna know the rationale behind that statement

Citi are in Tampa; message if you are interested as I have a few contacts there.

PNC has ops in Cleveland. KeyBank is headquartered in Cleveland. It's not as flashy or cool as all the big cities, but if you visit it you would be pleasantly surprised

Want to get a sense check. Typical English firm salaries in London are about 70% Cravath (unless you're at one of the US firms that benchmarks to Cravath scale offices). 2PQE is around 165k USD + 30k bonus assuming 1800 billables. So comparing at a firm where you roughly bill 1900-2000 a year, you lose out, but if you bill 2200+, that's comparable?

Thinking aloud here - if you can find that 2000-billing firm, no sense staying in that payscale unless you have a shot at equity?

Feel like audit scheduling is always done on a knifes edge in that the timeline and staff schedules are enough so that if everyone works 60 hour weeks and no issues are identified then it can be filed on time.
