Organizational skills and hustle. Red flag would be low energy at the interviews

Great question. Also, how do you properly assess the skill set you are looking for in the interview process?

@NYL - if you’re looking for support staff - great company to use Belay. They’re Virtual Assistants.

I'm not hung up on PE/buy side exits, not closed off but nbd. Would be just as happy to stay and make MD (or exit into corp dev if I want an easier life when I'm older)

My dilemma:

I'm at a LMM investment bank. Can get crazy sometimes, but otherwise chill. Typically done around 7-9 pm, had maybe three 1 am nights. Haven't worked a weekend in over a month. Fridays almost always done at 5 pm.

Have an offer at a reputable MM bank but probably pretty sweaty. Worth the move?
