I enjoy what I do now, but for all the shit compliance people get they have amazing WLB. I did a temp gig when I first started, my managers made six figures, low stress& strict 9-5. Only downside is not challenging

Work life balance is big for me. This role just doesn't prioritize my time.

Commercial Banking whether it be as an analyst, lender or portfolio manager. Traditional work days (i.e. 9-5) pays fairly well and you get all of the bank holidays off. Also, for the most part, you can come and go as you please within reason.

Hello, what do you guys think is the best entry strategy to get into PE,VC or IB in the UK for an international student who has worked in investment management and treasury roles abroad? I have my MSc and ACA certification too.

Assuming PE deal team is the goal, I'd start in IB (MM or BB) - an MSc is pretty meaningless for the purposes of getting an advantage in getting into any of either PE or IB (lots of people have them). It may help for VC if you're going for a sector specialist and the MSc is in a relevant subject. ACA's a a better one, but to get into PE you'll likely need a couple of years of IB analyst (M&A preferable) experience first, depending on your investment management experience. You could also go for a CorpDev role in a PE-backed firm if that's of interest (lower pay but better WLB)

Looking at exits into pharma and biotech. Have an opp at a biotech at the SM level. Total comp excluding equity is around $190k; RSUs vest over 4 years with annual refreshers, so first year equity would be around $6,200 and it would go up by $6,200 each of the next 3 years, plus whatever base bump I get. Very good benefits package.

They envision 2-3 years before I jump either to AD or right to D. Solid opp? Or hold out to go straight to director level?

What kind of Masters program would you recommend for someone hoping to make it into a senior leadership/executive role in Comms/PR? I have over 6 yrs of experience in Comms in public/private sector. However, I haven't had any formal education in Comms/Journalism which I have felt always put me at a disadvantage. My question is, is there an advantage of doing a Masters to improve my chances of getting into a leadership role? If so, would an MBA be better than a Masters in PR/Comms?

I want to spend $10k on a cruise to Antarctica. My wife doesn’t want to go and doesn’t think I should spend the money either. I make 200k and she makes 65k. I worked hard to get a 37k hot skill bonus from all the certs I studied for. We are recently married. I’m discouraged because I feel like I can’t save and spend my money the way I did before. I know marriage is supposed to be united financially, but since we are recently married it’s tough to give up my freedom financially. Advice?
