Hey y'all - Im currently deciding between switching to another MMIB or switching to Rx consulting. I am attracted to stay in banking because of the earning potential and being so close to VP but got approached by a Rx boutique consulting firm that pays less but seems to have more flexibility ( less FaceTime, less hours and allow more remote work). Have anyone been in this situation before? Would love to hear your opinion.

You'll have more travel and the hours are pretty rough during "busy seasons". You get most of your downtime between projects. What's your long-term goal? How close to VP are you?

How do you feel as a native speaker when you meet non-natives? Should they be worried, or, they doing ok?

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.
