Depends on bank

Do NOT do that. And certainly not in banking.

Sure. You will feel SO old tho

30 is fine. Later 30s? Heck no.

30 is totally fine baby. 👶

If I had no kids then I’d definitely do it. Especially if I wouldn’t want to have kids until mid to late 30s anyway.

GS TMT, MS TMT, Qatalyst, Greenhill than maybe a yes. There are some others that could be a maybe too but those are top of mind.
The rest not worth imo

Hello!
I was wondering what kind of contractual or other barriers I might face if I apply for one of the big 4 while working on a project with them in my current company.
I am not too involved in the project but I was in a few meetings and went on a field trip with them as well.
The position that I am applying for is in a different team and city.
Will this considered “poaching” if the consulting firm hires me? Would they need to talk to my current employer?
