Would anyone be open to share how old and how much you have saved? Do you have an age or number in mind before calling it quits? I am 28 with about 450k saved up. Not sure if that good or bad if I want to retire at 45 lol.

Well now I feel like shit, I’m 28 as well but I don’t even have a fraction of your savings 😔. I should have made the transition to IB when I had the chance it seems 😭

Mid-30s, 1st year partner in MMIB, 12 years experience
~$500K in each of retirement, house, investments, $100K in each of crypto and bank accounts
$100-200K in art, jewelry and collectibles

Should be more, but I live a dumb life…

Wow that’s a lot. Did you start from 0?

I’m 28 and have 300k saved.

Ahh okay yea that would save a lot of rent expense that could compound if you invested in the SP500 or M7. I had to flush money down the drain on expensive nyc rent despite living in cheaper areas.

Good for you!

You got multiple personality disorder… you were 28 with 900M and 65 with 12M and a husband…

I’m gonna assume actually a 40 year old, lives in their parents basement, no job and thus no net worth other than your inheritance.

Asking for wife who's also in banking. If she got ~$100k in signing bonus in 2019 for 1 year commitment in CA and started FT in July 2020, assuming she leaves before July 2021, can her employer claw back full amount in California? Some say it's much tougher to do so under CA law but wonder if anyone has any insights. Banks won't likely care about analyst signing bonuses, but associate bonus at EB with diversity bonus can be significant. If she quits before, she won't be going to another bank.

Interesting all the noise about these PPT, my take:

The pandemic took all the upside of an IB analyst life (client meetings in person, fancy trips, suit up, worshiped at networking events) and left all the juniors with the downside (long hours, monkey-like type of job, aggressive work environment).

Not that the complaints are not sort of legitimate but you may need to revise the decision-making process that led you to accept a return offer. Specially if you were looking for less hours.
