I’ve only worked at mid sized banks with decent work life balance. For those of you at large firms, what are your work hours like and do your bonuses reflect longer hours?

I work 40 hours a week but most people here do 50+. I am just really strict about my working hours and wlb. People frown at me leaving work at five very day but I have a family to spend time with.

Can depend on role/team.

Raises at large banks??
Nope. Not if you think 0-3% with most landing on 0-1%. It’s not even COLA
Bonuses vary / largely depends on title and firm results … that are often spun into a reason why you can’t get paid
Also depends on favoritism when carving up pool - not necessarily individual results.

Don’t count on bonus or raise / get the most you can upfront!

Did better at regional level

I’m interested in pursuing cosmetic dermatology (possible Botox and laser treatment) for the first time. I’ve done a ton of research and the derm I’m most interested in going to charges a $150 consult fee but does NOT apply that cost to any treatments you get, whereas from my research it seems like derms in my city usually do apply the consult fee to the treatments. Would you pass on her due to that additional cost, or consider it worth it to see the derm you want to see?

Thinking of switching employers. Do you think bigger retail stores (the ones that have several locations) are easier or harder to work at than little hole-in-the-wall grocery stores (which is all I've ever done)? It seems like the larger chain stores would have more downtime, but I'm wondering if anyone could give some input.
