How would I have had answered to the question regarding Title preference? I wanted to shoot for the higher one but then didn‘t want to get kicked out of process due to my fixation as other candidates might be more aligned. But I also feel that the lack of assertion has led me to short-sell myself. When it came to salary expectations, I didn‘t quote the number and was open to hear from them (they didn‘t quote as of yet). It‘s just killing me. If being so flexible makes me a weak candidate.

I think your gut is probably telling you that it is. I think, like in any context in life, being overly flexible conveys an uncertainty in one's self. And the people who know what they want and state it (without entitlement or arrogance) are often the ones who get it. I don't think this means you've lost your chances here, but I'd remember this gut feeling you're having for the next time. (I do think it's smart to make them put a number out first though, for the record)

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.

Asking for wife who's also in banking. If she got ~$100k in signing bonus in 2019 for 1 year commitment in CA and started FT in July 2020, assuming she leaves before July 2021, can her employer claw back full amount in California? Some say it's much tougher to do so under CA law but wonder if anyone has any insights. Banks won't likely care about analyst signing bonuses, but associate bonus at EB with diversity bonus can be significant. If she quits before, she won't be going to another bank.
