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?

Hi! Is there a way you could find a full time remote role? I was thinking to get dual citizenship🇬🇷and work a few months in Europe myself at some point as I am fluent in Greek and my parents were both born there..….based in Boston now…May be hard to find similar pay and work life balance as the states but it really depends where in Europe of course….:))

I presume this company has no presence in Europe and no intentions to create one? No potential for you to go start their European branch or something, down the road?

nope unfortunately not

Dilemma… I left my old company 4 months ago. Today, they’ve reached out to me to ask me to come back at a higher role, Operations Manager.

Any thoughts?

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?
