Hello I got a confirmation from HR at Shell that I have been selected for a role and there will be background checks before joining the company. He said the mail will come from a 3rd party vendor for the background verification. It has been 1 week and there has been no mails till now. Is it normal? Should I follow up with the HR again?

Really cosign the exit options. Either you work at a firm or you work at an investment bank. Are you a New Yorker for life?
Sorry I didn't see this response when I checked for some reason. I guess neither of those options sound particularly palatable. Best to stay as broadly cap markets as possible, then, doing equity work (including IPOs), public company work, etc.?

Look, I know that good WLB and your interest in the practice area are important but do not ignore their advice.
M&A skills are transferrable. General capital markets skills are transferrable. Super-niche skills might not be, and this could come back to bite you at the worst possible moment.
What is your current practice area? What don’t you like about it?
First year. We are in a general "corporate" practice and get to choose to specialize as we become more senior.
