I'm an associate 2, working a lot, and sometimes sensitive about work politics. My MD often calls my senior analyst for comments on projects instead of calling me - should I be vexed or worried ?

Pretty much this, it just draws out the process

Agreed, some people work differently. If he thinks you’re going to process them, he might call you.

But similarly if he’s calling the analyst asking questions on stuff you’ve produced different story

Needing advise. I have been at my new company for 3 months and I hate it. So much to hate too much to type up.

I heard it’s not good to bash other companies but I genuinely do not know how to explain why I want to leave without my current company getting bashed. Should I just put it all out there or keep it vague?

Hello guys,
Got let go today :(
The reasons given were basically that I was not a great match for the team. My manager said they wanted somebody who was more aggressive; I take full responsibility for my performance. It is unfortunate I did not receive much feedback, and the few feedback I received was actually kinda positive lol. In any case, I'm learning from my mistakes and looking for opportunities . 4 years of experience 2 SWE at startups/msft and 1.8 years as PM at upcoming tech company

If at all, how do you guys manage romantic relationships in IB? It’s easier if your s/o is in the industry bc they have an innate understanding someone outside wouldn’t but I don’t think that means you have to find someone in the industry. Curious to hear some thoughts.

Hey all!

I was approached with a cool opportunity by an old colleague and ended up accepting the new role. Trouble is, I now have to resign from my job and my head MD really takes it hard when people leave. He’s done a good job of making our office culture less crappy so I def want to encourage him to continue that.

Im pretty fond of him and another of my Directors and I was wondering if you all had any advice on how to give notice of my resignation in a way that preserves the relationship.
