Probably 10% per year are transitioned out. You definitely need to perform at a certain level to stay here

It’s nearly all self selecting, given the intensity of the place If you are not performing you’ll know it and after a while if you stay you’ll simply be miserable. So people start looking for other opportunities.

An entire bad year would probably lead to a transition situation

Any consultant here who has worked at Citadel or knows someone who is working at Citadel? A recruiter from there reached out to me today, and I got the sense that the culture there is more intense compared to consulting. How would you compare Citadel vs MBB on the below points:

a) Culture
b) Diversity (I am an international student and a person of color, and my sense is that Citadel is not as international)
c) Comp trajectory

Thanks!

Hi! Wanted to get thoughts from those who have exited to a startup from MBB/T2. Have an offer from a series C start up — would take ~$20k base cut but with bonus (annually) would make about 25k more TC plus RSUs. Much better WLB and great people. Is the base cut normal? Thoughts?
