Hello everybody, pursuing my MBA in Financial Services currently at an unranked school. I am debating pursuing a career in investment banking or something else on Wall St. I hold all my securities licenses and have two years experience in investment research and financial services. I have an 3.2. Fist, is there any chance I can break in as an equity analyst? Second, are there any banks on Wall St. that have any semblance of work life balance? I used to work 60 hours but 80 is discouraging?

Hey all, started my role as a recruiter at an agency recently and had my first placement! It was great until the candidate wants to renegotiate the base and benefits after the current company counter-offered when the candidate no longer sees the future. Any tips on what to say to bring back to focus? The current role is a Sr. Acct Receivable (less than 2yr) and going into collections specialist at a global law firm.
