Can you tell me about 1 or 2 people who have been particularly kind to you since you joined IB? We are in a cutthroat industry and I don’t hear that many good stories.

Had an MD years ago when I was a VP at an EB that allowed me to take 6 weeks paternity leave. Was absolutely flabbergasted.

They said they regretted missing spending time with their partner and kid when the kid was born. Also said the biggest regret was that they were barely home for their kids when they were younger.

That MD, till they retired, would tell me to leave at 5 pm to spend time with my family if I was still at the office (expectation was to jump back on at 8 when they’d go to bed, but still).

Thank you for sharing. I only wish more MDs are “flexible and understanding” when it comes to life outside of work.

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. Any suggestions for how to handle?

Believe I’d be a great fit as an Associate in the same space at the major banks (RBC, TD, Scotia, CIBC etc) or in PE/ Asset management.

Could someone help by mentioning the salary ranges I can expect?

Also any tips on networking would be appreciated. Thank you!
