Recently lateraled as a fourth year in finance. Had some firms reach out the next day, others same week, others two-ish weeks after submitting

If you're a good fit and the firms are actively hiring, it should take two weeks or less to get an interview. If it takes longer, it means the needs aren't as urgent or the firms likely aren't interested.

I will be traveling with my 15 lb dog. He is a smidge too big to be under seat. Anyone know the requirements for bringing a pet onboard? Does he need to be a certified support animal?

Lateral that just went through first bonus season with the firm. Not in a major market but workload is comparable to major markets. Surprised at how low the bonus was. I received solid reviews and my annualized hours were well above the requirement. Should I approach anyone about this? Wondering if it is worth addressing or if it could compromise my standing. Thanks in advance!
