It bothers me if they slam me/others while the person is not there, or if they come off as passive aggressive. Otherwise, I’d rather them be fake friendly than unpleasant to be around.

How do you know it is fake? Maybe that is the story you are telling yourself? Or, do they act differently in front of you?

I currently work as an APM at a FAANG company but recently received an offer to join an MBB. I’m very excited about the role but didn’t realize I’d need to take a pay cut when I applied (~100k base + ~20k bonus + ~60k equity vs. 90k base + 10-20k bonus). Considering that I currently work 40-60 hours/week, I’ll be making significantly less per hour at the MBB. I’m very interested in the opportunity but also don’t want to make a poor financial decision early in my career. Thank you for your time!
