I am currently an analyst planning to stay on as an associate. I want to leave NYC at some point and move to Europe, but my firm has great pay and work life balance relative to other firms. I feel bound by the golden handcuffs given the perks at my company. I don’t want to lateral to another firm in Europe. I feel so conflicted between continuing on to be a career banker or exiting. How different are the hours and pay for a VP compared to an analyst/associate? Anyone have advice on what to do?

I’ve had radio silence from a small investment bank for about a week now. I’ve completed several rounds of interviews, but last Thursday the firm reposted the job I’ve been interviewing for.

She said they had a busy week last week but will make a final decision this week - is the delay and radio silence a bad sign or is this typical for experienced hiring?
