Was a B4 senior associate in FDD for about a year and went into IB as an analyst at a large MM. I’m honestly considering jumping back to FDD at A&M or something, mainly because it’s just way less BS and more standardized work plus more WFH. I know people typically want to do the opposite, am I nuts? FDD was chill compared to banking when I was working there. Bonuses in banking are bound to be ass this year as well
