Feels like more recruiters are ghosting me after the initial interview. Maybe I am being paranoid? Has this been happening to anyone else lately?

That seems to be an increasingly common scenario. It represents a cultural change of sorts. Old school bankers would have been embarrassed to meet someone and then just ignore them. That would be considered the height of rudeness. In today's world it's like anything goes.

It happens alllll the time. Don't feel bad, you are not alone. I have been looking for something new for over six months I get initial interviews all the time and then I never hear anything back. Its honestly very annoying because then I can't get ahold of the recruiter.

I’m not bad with money but definitely lots of room to improve overall, due to several personal factors I don’t want to list in full here (numerous unanticipated medical bills, bad boyfriends, etc.) Hence why I only have $3k in savings right now. My first mini goal is to have $5k saved by the end of December. I need motivation and words of encouragement. If I pay off my medical bills, I won’t make my goal. I have to start putting saving money first. Getting depressed about my situation.

If I see one more article on how millennials are ruining the economy or housing market by not buying enough homes or selling enough homes I'm going to scream. We were saving for 3 years before Covid and had to use a solid chunk to take care of ourselves and our families during quarantine. Now that we're ready to save again inflation and COL are at an all-time high and we're headed into a recession. And somehow this is my fault for what...not being a boomer? Bffr.

Additional Posts in Investment Banking - IBD

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.
