Has anyone, or know anyone, that made the jump from Rx (consulting, not banking) to LevFin? If so, would love to connect (or be connected) and understand how. I'm sure it's a difficult jump but still want to meet people if they've done it.

I haven't done it myself but I feel like people I know who have made this kind of transition have said that the biggest adjustments are cultural. The culture in LevFin can be a lot more transactional and market-driven compared to the more advisory or strategic focus of Rx consulting. So I think that it just takes a mindset change for sure

I just don't know how to pursue it. I have a small network in LevFin but I guess it's how to sell Rx consulting to LevFin when I'd be competing with private credit or Rx bankers or RIF'd bankers in general since I'd be in the experienced hire pool.

Is there any such role that gives good comp, great work/life balance (I don’t even wanna be near 60 hours), and overall interesting role/company?

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.

Interesting all the noise about these PPT, my take:

The pandemic took all the upside of an IB analyst life (client meetings in person, fancy trips, suit up, worshiped at networking events) and left all the juniors with the downside (long hours, monkey-like type of job, aggressive work environment).

Not that the complaints are not sort of legitimate but you may need to revise the decision-making process that led you to accept a return offer. Specially if you were looking for less hours.
