What’s the interview, first round?

Because I was drowning with work in my IB role

How’d it go

It was really tough… On the feedback, said it went well but they wanted to go for a candidate with more experience. FYI - I’m an A1 with less than one year and competing against A1-A3 for an associate position

Looking to leave my auditing position with only 3 months of experience... I'm in a relatively small firm, and my manager's micromanaging is insane... Want to go into advisory, any advice is welcome.

So I work with Citi and have about 9 YOE in finance, banking, accounting, AR, AP etc. a lot of different experience across all the spectrums. Intrigued by Fintech. What are some of the big companies hiring for fintech roles that maybe I could look into? Looking to make a change quickly. Live in Tampa.

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.
