VP level is better because you're sending the Friday 5:30pm comments on the model or diligence package instead of receiving them

Absolutely, you're not doing the leg work like when we were grunting away at 70-80 hour weeks

I work on average 25-35hrs a week. I have deadline time where I work 60-70hr a week for 2-3 weeks twice a year but that is just due to my personal procrastination

Just like consulting, it’s different work. You are not crunching on a model but expected to start building relationships with companies and owner/founder/CEOs

What firms are these?! I am VP level and I have significantly worse WLB than the junior folks…

Boutique I have been eyeing has billable hour requirement of 1500-1600 and comes with a 20-25% paycut. Is this a stupid idea and should I grind it out until I can move in house?
