I have to wonder, has anyone had experience working at Jefferies vs another bank?
Is it actually that bad in terms of hours or is it just people really complaining about IB

Yaa. It's so hard to gauge what's truth and what's just plain ol' bitchin about IB as a whole

My roommate as an analyst was a jefferies analyst. His life sucked

I think the main difference is I had a lot of busy periods where I may have worked a bit later than him but also combined with some quieter periods, so ebbs and flows.. he was always at a steady state of like 5-10 hours below my busiest weeks

Not only the hours, part of the bonus is deferred for 4 years or something

What???

Anyone here familiar with the hiring process of KPMG consulting in Van? Had a partner interview on Nov 21, thought the feedback was positive but haven't heard back yet (no rejection/offer). Is it something normal or the interview just didn't go as well as I thought?

It's an experienced hire for an SC role. I saw the posting is still open atm, and my guess is that the recruiting team is comparing candidates since competition is higher due to recent layoffs.

Thanks in advance!

Hello Fishes,

I'm currently serving my notice period. LWD is on 06-Sep. My manager said that he will try for an onsite opportunity with other projects like the UK or europe as he doesn't have any onsite (US) opening in the current project. Yesterday he said he found a UK project having an onsite opportunity and said that the respective manager will contact.

I'm holding an offer for 26LPA with 8.5 YOE with product based company.

I really confused to make a decision. Pls help

Hi guys, what's the point of a circuit breaker when we already have iterative calculations on? Doesn't this just add an extra input, making a formula more volatile?

People who work in banking, and especially in France, have you ever been badly treated by your colleagues with an attitude as if you’re not even worth a piece of sh** ?

I don’t know if it’s because people in the banks are like this or if it’s because french people are rude. But the way my colleagues behave (fortunately, just some of them, not all) would be considered extremely impolite and uneducated in Asia (where I’m from). Would love to hear some of your opinions about this!
