0.5x Overtime is Criminal

How is this legal in NYC? Half pay for all overtime hours?

What is this ?!?! My cali counterparts are making 1.5x OT and 2.5x OT for +8 hours worked in a week.

This is ridiculous

I think you're actually just humble bragging that you got an SA, actually.

 

Idk where you interned at, but all my previous internships have been slaving away at the computer. Don’t say we are sitting on our asses because we do comparable work to an analysts work. May not be perfect but I’m doing all the bitch work you’re too lazy to do.

Only really went for coffee when an Associate, VP or MD would invite us, which isn’t a regular occasion. Besides a couple “check-ins” with my mentor I was always at my desk. However Im always very enthusiastic and social in the bullpen which I guess has helped me network

 

If that's how you went through your previous internships, no wonder you're doing another one right now because that's NOT how you convert to full time.

This may be reflective of how your compensation experience could look like as a FT analyst. Despite working longer hours and more diligently than other analysts, your pay may or may not necessarily be reflective of the additional effort.
 

Example: Analyst A works in Restructuring at an EB, and he is top bucket. He receives the most and best staffings but averages over 90 hours weekly for his entire first year. But at year end, he realizes his total comp was only $20k higher than that of his roommate, Analyst B, who works in a MM group and was ranked in the bottom half of his class and only averaged 55 hours per week doing mindless monkey work. However, the MM Analyst spent significantly more time interviewing, partying and sleeping (with women) than his roommate and secured his buyside offer early on. 
 

The MM analyst continues to coast into his second year while his roommates soul decays from the prestige of being staffed on 3 megadeals while simultaneously spending all his free time recruiting for PE. Fortunately they both land good offers in LMM PE.
