No but what I don’t get is why the sponsor needs the timeline to be what it is. If every deal had an extra week, things would be more manageable.
Definitely agree.
also in lev fin mainly doing acquisition finance and worse, lenderside in designated lending and the lifestyle is a f*ckin’ nightmare. Cannot imagine being a parent to do these late nights and no weekends, and I don’t really see part time working either bc we’re bullied all hours by sponsors on timelines. Even if I outsource the caretaking of a baby 24/7 there’s no way I could be “present” enough…really rough practice.
the worst practice :( I retooled out that area. The weekend trees really crushed my soul

ha!
I thought one probably doesn’t exist, but it’s worth asking before I give up altogether.
FWIW, I’ve heard transitioning to fund finance is more humane with pretty standard forms and limited fire drills. Fund finance practices are willing to pick up lev fin associates given the same basic foundational principles. Had a friend who went to a fund finance practice and gets like 30 billable hours a week. She has to make her hours up by tons of pro Bono.

Is it common to switch between lender side and sponsor side?
that’s what I hear - working for banks is boring, bureaucratic and doesnt pay necessarily well is what I hear
Switch to a general finance practice. I switched from lev fin to general finance and got my life back. I’ve had like two months over 250 hrs in the last year and most are under 200. Weekends are more often than not completely untouched. My firm is hiring if you wanna dm.
This probably sounds stupid but what is “general” finance and what firms do this?
