The dark side has much to offer

Exit opportunities, prestige, bragging rights (social mating privileges included), and most importantly, potentially more money

Make the switch if you can. If MBB had started recruiting like 2 months earlier, I would have gone.

Ultimately, the timelines didn’t match up and I took S& and bowed out

Had an interview for an associate position at Citi. Interviewee was based in London and I’m in NYC. The only interview time that worked was 6am. I was barely functioning and feel like I truly messed up in my answers because I couldn’t not think clearly. I have another with the head of the division next week again at 6am (pre determined before this interview). It was also hard because the division’s core work is private enough that there was not much prep I could do beforehand. Tips?
