Can someone kindly connect me with Investment Banking HR/Recruiter/anyone willing to help? My friend interviewed for Goldman Sachs NY. Cleared the HireVue but didn’t get any communication further. It’s been 4 weeks now. Although the referral came from a VO but the division is different. My friend is looking for Investment Banking division. Need to get in touch with someone from investment banking to push the resume. The rolling process is hurting the chances.Thank you Goldman Sachs

From my experience, it’s more about responsibilities than the hours. The hours will vary, some instances it will be more, some it will stay the same. There are a lot of factors: the team around you, the nature of the engagement etc.. you just get better at managing the additional responsibilities and expectations over time.
More responsibilities = more stress = more $ = more staffs to do things you don’t wanna do
Quite honestly I’ve been doing a manager role for 2 years before I got promoted. So it’s been the same. I’m used to it by now. I’m looking forward to growing my team so that I can be less in the details in the future and only have to give high level support.
Understand what I would gain and lose out of it if I’m happy with current salary as long as it continues to be in par with inflation
What firm are you at? Most firms will fire you eventually if you’re not promoteable. You get too expensive.
So how do you communicate that to senior leadership that you don’t aspire to rise without sounding like you’re lazy/unambitious or whatever connotations that may come out of that
Same hours, but a different kind of work. My only stress comes from people issues. People really look to their managers to help keep them happy and provide the right opportunities. Sometimes I can’t give everyone want they want, or I need them to be flexible to meet my needs. It’s a delicate balancing act that I am still refining. For most of my career, I thought I never wanted to be a manager. Then, I worked under several sub-par managers. As start to have more opinions and ideas about how things should be done, you’ll want the reins.
Exactly, it’s about responsibility. Pre-manager you are like a waffle, having responsibility but structured in clear squares. As a manager, you are soaked up with responsibility, just like a pancake
But strange enough, for some reason there are more waffles than pancakes at manager level. Food for thought
