With Q3 coming to a close and Q4 starting within the financial industry, does anyone have any insight on if freezes/holds are usually lifted if numbers are favorable? Or does this usually happen after the new year?

In the financial industry, the decision to lift freezes or holds typically depends on various factors, including the organization's performance and strategic goals. If Q3 numbers are favorable and the company is meeting its targets, there's a likelihood that some restrictions may be eased. However, it's important to note that each company has its own policies and practices. In some cases, major decisions like this might be deferred until after the new year, especially if there are broader strategic considerations at play. It's advisable to consult with your specific company's HR or finance department for the most accurate information regarding freeze or hold policies.

Great insight. Would you say the same for year-ends holding up critical roles like senior/exec or data scientists?

Bain & Company I have a second round with Bain & Company coming up at the DC office for Experienced Consultant role. Excited, but hella nervous. Recruiter said it’d be 3 separate interviews, all with Partners; 2 case, 1 fit. About 40 mins each. First round was 2 case interviews with Sr. manager & Associate Partner. Been a rough year, so definitely looking forward to this opportunity. I’ve been on the site and going through preparation and materials. Any advice or suggestions welcomed!

Anyone deal with this before: I inherited a severely under developed team including a sr analyst who clearly was doing the bare minimum, if that.

He lashed out, involved HR saying he doesn’t understand why, and now my review points out stuff that I would have let slide.

Hello!
I'm italian, 26 yo and currently working in France as financial analyst.
Work environment is great, friendly and multicultural but I don't like the job at all.
Personal life is not so nice since I manage to see my family and gf every 30/45 days only. Colleagues have their own lives and at the end we don't hang out much.
My dilemma is:
A) going back to Italy at a lower salary with less growth opps but better personal life or
B) Switching my job here and hold on

What would you do?

Thx! :)
