SA2 - where do you work now?

The one with the higher comp.
Usually the one with better deal pipeline.
Could be any of those, really.

Hindsight capital - their returns are about as good as it gets.

Somewhere with an optimal mix of good pay and good hours

I feel left out in my firm. How do I make 'friends' with my colleagues? I've been here for a year.
