How bad is it to take a role on an Internal Project? Looking for some work-life balance but fear it may get boring working without client interactions and from home office all the time!

Depends on the project and long term/short term goals. I found one that is allowing me to pivot despite the impact it will have on my advancement, I am super excited and grateful

And project is in relatively "cool" space.. think IoT

Depends on the role. I was signed up for a role I didn't want ( love to travel) and told it won't impact me at all, in fact, it seems like a good career move. Bored slightly but sure it'll get better

Home office sucks

While they say internal projects (chargeable ones too) don't hurt you, pretty much every person I know whose done one has gotten shafted for it at year end

I've been on a long internal project and have gotten 5s (highest rating) both years

My dilemma:

I'm at a LMM investment bank. Can get crazy sometimes, but otherwise chill. Typically done around 7-9 pm, had maybe three 1 am nights. Haven't worked a weekend in over a month. Fridays almost always done at 5 pm.

Have an offer at a reputable MM bank but probably pretty sweaty. Worth the move?
