Do you work better under pressure or a deadline? If so, have you always been that way or did you have to train yourself?

Yes, it's more of a personality trait I think (at least based on an MBTI personality test)

I can handle the pressure of a deadline, but I'm not one of those who thrive on that environment. I do my best work by avoiding the pressure of an impending deadline. They see the longest journey starts with a single step. Well, the most complicated project is a journey you take one step at a time. Rest when needed. Refocus if necessary. Hit the trail again.

I try my best to not put myself in a tight deadline. But sometimes, it is out of control.

Not typically but I’ve been surprised what I can pull out of my azz in a pressure situation.

Hahaha yes I know what you mean.

I generally like having a deadline, but not to some extreme extent. If I know when something has to be accomplished, I'll accomplish it. If it's something where there's no set time for completion, I'll just push it aside forever. So in that sense I'd say I pretty much need a deadline.

Very interesting. I sort get where you are coming from for sure.

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.
