I’m a new analyst at an IB group. I’ve felt that I’ve done well my first month or two and delivered higher quality work, but I feel that lately I’ve been slipping up the past few weeks given the intensity of the deal as well as having multiple peripheral work streams. It also doesn’t help the second year analyst quit so I don’t necessarily have a resource to lean into. (Cont.)

I’m addicted to getting fresh haircuts. About to get a haircut now in prep for weekend activities. Gonna get another one on Sunday since a trial starts on Monday. This will probably be the closest gap I’ve ever had between haircuts. Feel kind of guilty about it.

Can’t wait for my mental health to decline in this coming year and probably the next decade tbh. Parents want me to save money for a house, wants me to move back in with them. Originally wanted to only spend $500k max on a house with $100k down payment but now they want a $750k house. I’m going to be house poor for the next decade and I don’t think I’m going to get married or have kids bc of this.

Anyone have inside scoop for the German authority’s raid on Deutsche Bank?

Asking for wife who's also in banking. If she got ~$100k in signing bonus in 2019 for 1 year commitment in CA and started FT in July 2020, assuming she leaves before July 2021, can her employer claw back full amount in California? Some say it's much tougher to do so under CA law but wonder if anyone has any insights. Banks won't likely care about analyst signing bonuses, but associate bonus at EB with diversity bonus can be significant. If she quits before, she won't be going to another bank.
