Hello, i have an opportunity to join a quantitative analyst position in trading room. Id like to know whether or not you can do whatever you want after that ( everyone keep saying me that). I have a fear that it constraints me into sell side. I am not really sure of which path Id like to go to within the next 5 y. ( I am not talking about switching into m&a/pe position)
Best,

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.
