I was laid off during Deloitte‘s mass layoff in July of last year. I have worked as an independent contractor since and projects haven’t been consistent at the client I’m working for. I’m looking to get back into a big firm and was seeing if anyone would be able to refer me or help get my foot in the door. I was a business analyst for 1.5 years at Deloitte and have several years of additional experience which I’d be more than happy to share.

Fuck it. GO. !!!
Just the fact that I wouldn't have to get on a fucking plane again is too tempting to turn down IB.
Define bulge bracket? Never heard that term
You will have to work with the same people and do the same thing every day for the foreseeable future.
what do you want to do in the future? Hours probably significantly worse. Bonus definitely significantly higher.
Do you love the weekends? Then don't do IB . Do you love money? Do IB
IB sucks. You have no life outside of work...much worse than consulting. And you work weekends. However, if you're single, don't care about having time for friends and family, can function with 4 hours of sleep on a regular basis (or do coke), and can work with assholes for at least a year, maybe banking isn't so bad. The money is much better than consulting...like A LOT better. Suck it up for a year or two and move on.
Now your sales and trading uncle will stop thinking that you work in back office operations and constantly give you "career enhancing tip"....
Go!
I have friends who are at 95k base with 55k bonuses as second years -- and most of their food is paid for because they're almost always in the office. As far as lifestyle, some of them can leave for hours at a time in the afternoons because most of the actual work drops late at night. This isn't a rule, but an interesting datapoint nonetheless
I feel like that's not that much money... Thought it'd be much higher considering the lifestyle expectations

Sooooo what's bulge bracket?

I would stay here...IB sucks
How much do 20 something IBers actually make
Couple of my friends are pulling like $90k base and $40k bonus as 2nd years
Yeah I've heard a lot of times the days are slow and then all the work is like 8p-1am. Why can't they figure out how to have a normal schedule?
Have some IB buddies. Same story. They can't do a lot of their work until the market closes.
