Hours: varies personally been in the low 50s for a normal week; but can easily go a bit past 60 when it gets busy and there’s tight deadlines

Role: know you mentioned Senior but this can vary between B4 and other smaller firms, I’ve seen both where seniors at smaller firms are more client coord/ proj mgmt heavy, whereas at B4 seniors are doing the grunt work

Salary: senior role ranges between $130-$150k

Typical day to day- receiving data for active deals; delegating to those below you; starting to think about the calculations and overall methodology for adjs and come up with the narrative; analyzing data for other key issues / considerations; generally in charge of the data book

I may be a 5th or 6th year when I’m done with it. Any thoughts?
