I'm with you. I know it's not particularly healthy to overwork myself but there isn't much going on with my life outside of work. So I really don't mind putting in extra hours or working weekends. The only time I do mind is when I ask for time off and I'm expected to drop everything because some people failed to plan ahead.

I felt very important traveling every week to consult in different places, until I become accustomed to it and I got bored of it. Last straw was realising that I couldn’t have a family and be involved enough in it (I didn’t feel at home anywhere…).
Learnt a ton, but it wasn’t sustainable for me (and I was paid less than you, I think :))

I am the same way but I don't have kids or a family. I hate going home to an empty house and watching TV or having nothing to do and getting bored. I don't mind the long hours and weekends because it keeps me busy and I am finally making great money.

Hello Fishes,

Deloitte USI is offering me 15LPA fixed and 1lack joining bonus and HCL offering me 23LPA fixed. I've tried to negotiate with deloitte but they are not ready to negotiate and asking me to join on the same CTC which was initially provided. I'm confused to select the company. It would be really helpful if anyone could share their views. Thanks.

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.

Looking for advice: I have an analyst (9 months on the job) who still doesn’t get it - repeatedly misses comments, doesn’t follow instructions, slow, etc. I have raised this to both my MDs and they seem to be adopting a “not my problem” approach when I mention it. I had advised against hiring this analyst post internship and my MD insisted that all the issues I highlighted were fixable. I have tried teaching him to no avail and frustration with him is growing.
