been thinking about PE on vs off cycle. i lean toward off bc i dont think i can prepare in time (traveling after school) and not keen on staying up to 4am for interviews. however, im concerned im missing out on opportunities and off cycle being harder / longer. does anyone have any experience and/or would be kind enough to provide thoughts?

current plan is to recruit for a better IB shop for exits my 1st year and if that fails, go off cycle my 2nd year

HR pulled me in to say a coworker complained about me talking about hit-lists, and they were now scared. HR wouldn't say who complained, so do I have a right to ask about the resolution to this?

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.
