Got referred to an analyst position at a top EB in banking. What are some honest pros and cons of a 1-2 year analyst role, in both consulting and banking, that should be considered?

pros: work balance
cons: life balance

Pro: Better all in comp, Better exit IF you want to pursue a career in PE or Hedge Funds

Cons: Work life balance, more narrowed experience than consulting

Probably will get you the same exit opps, if not more (on the PE side). Obviously a much tougher environment to work in and its a different focus than what you are likely working on at GuideHouse

Hey guys, I am about to complete a year in IB, and will start the recruitment process soon for buyside roles.

I am looking at roles in London, so would be great to know whose comp is higher and who are the top payers for VCs/early growth.

To what extent to platforms facilitate union formation? To what extent do they discourage it?

So I'm asking two questions - how do we use the sites to build solidarity and organize unions but also can the sites better facilitate this process?
