If you can start all over again, would you still be in this field? I am burnt out and feel like I have wasted my youth years for this stupid job.

Hi All,
I had my 1st round of interview with Executive Director and 2 leads for Technical role. I have 2 queries-
1. How many rounds should i expect in total considering I clear everything? (I think my first round itself has technical + manger/director)
2. How long (time) will it take to get an offer?
TIA :)

Please answer if you have worked for both and have significant first hand experience about the difference in WLB, annual hikes, work culture, any other observations.

Are coverage group hours better than m&a at your bank? From a lifestyle standpoint

currently debating if i should work on the hill or accept an IB role. i feel like working on the hill is invaluable experience that could get me into IB but maybe i’m wrong? Which opportunity gives me best resume experience?
