What banks
Can’t help unless you share which bank and industry group. You can guess based on how well the team seems to like one another and if the younger folks appear to have organization involvements, outside hobbies, or take vacations.
That’s a good way to ask a follow up question in an interview to see what the WLB looks like. I’ve had a bad boss /work environment before and most of my questions now are aimed at job satisfaction
European bank vs MM/Boutique (oppenheimer
, Guggenheim etc)
I’m not gonna share actual groups in case there’s people from these groups reading. If they only have one offer outstanding they’ll know it’s me. Regardless, was able to make the best decision for myself. Went for the large global bank over MM/Boutique. I felt like I cared more about quality of life than prestige and exact deal experience and spoke to an ex Associate who said given European culture this bank has more chill hours / not as steady dealflow as somewhere like evercore. That’s a trade off I was willing to make as I’m not trying to go Buyside. And if I was, this same associate already exited to Buyside so it’s definitely possible.
