Is finance the only industry where being unemployed feels like a character flaw? Every interview I’ve had lately comes with this unspoken judgment like I must’ve done something wrong if I was laid off. Even when I explain it was part of a department-wide cut, I can feel the shift in tone. It’s exhausting trying to prove I’m still capable just because I’m not currently on payroll. How do you talk about time off without sounding like you’re making excuses?

Had the interview 2 weeks ago, the recruiter called today and gave me positive feedback, but said they need to complete the process with other candidates before making the decision. No rejection yet, but not a good sign of getting the offer?

Thinking about getting an apartment but the pet fee is ridiculous. How likely is it that I'll get caught if I have a tiny kitten?

Has anyone recently done a HR interview at UBS?
I’ve completed the first interview with the hiring manager and a colleague, and have been fortunate to get to the next stage but im unsure how to prepare. I’ve done the usual compentencies, strengths and weaknesses and company research. But I don’t want to fail at the last hurdle as I really like this company and it would be a dream to work there any support or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Does anyone work at at Merrill Lynch as a Life services relationship consultant? Any info on the pay?

Just found out that end of the year I will be promoted from analyst directly to VP and since it’s such a large jump I’ll be the lowest paid VP in asset management at only $135k TC. Should I stay it out and wait for TC to align or take the promotion and jump ship bc I will likely get paid more elsewhere given how recruiters/other companies eat up hiring recently promoted ppl from other firms?

Is IB worth the sacrifice of WLB? Obvious pay is really good but are the prestige and pay worth it if you’re planning on only doing it for a couple years?

Currently working at an IRA with great WLB. Honestly I love my job, the firm, and people I work with.

Also doing MBA part time at a T15 school. Thinking about switching to IB but I’ve done my research and I think I would burn out of IB in two years but I might be ok with that for the opportunities after.
