Would love to get your thoughts on my situation. I’ve been interviewing at a MM IB and a restructuring firm. The process at the investment bank is currently on hold but it looks like the restructuring firm will be extending an offer (HR has given me a green light). My preference is the banking role since I enjoy M&A, liked the team, and have been working in it for the past four years. That said, Rx could be a good place to be given the situation.

Thoughts?

Yeah Rx is cool why not? Depends on how badly you want either. TC will be higher probably near and longer term at the IB role since there will be more success fees whereas RX will mostly be high salary + 0-50% bonus based on utilization and billable work. IB could be 100-500% bonuses depending on your title.

You can accept the offer then change your mind if another position you prefer does make an offer. I wouldn’t decline Rx as you may not get the other offers. That being said, if you’re unsure on the Rx firm after going through all the processes, that might be an indication it’s not the right choice for you. You seem like a strong candidate for many positions, which is great, leverage that and take your time to make the best decision for you.

One of the primary aims of the criminal justice reform movement is to help ex-convicts re-enter the workforce by sealing criminal records, and making it more difficult for employers to judge applicants based on criminal history. The idea is that people are redeemable and capable of reform. Yet the same movement thoroughly enjoys getting people fired and publicly shaming them for making arguments they find “offensive”. A rapist is capable of reform, but not someone who makes a dumb tweet. Got it.

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.
