1. Yes, as an average
2. Sort of, but there is no guarantee you won’t flex across post-close and buy/sell side
3. Primarily, yes. Exclusively, no
4. Depends on background/experience/location. DM me and I’ll do my best to refine this answer
5. No
6. Very little travel right now and it’s completely optional. Same with going into the office
7. Culture is good (my opinion). I like the people I work with and the atmosphere is collaborative. We have a ways to go on the D&I front, but we are making progress
8. Yes
