Here's a little summary about the story and what I'm looking for:
I'm a features writer at New York magazine, and I'm working on a story investigating the experience of young bankers (primarily analysts and associates) today, as well as their recent efforts to advocate for better working conditions, and what kind of response (if any at all) those efforts have received from senior managers and banks. I'm speaking with as many people as possible who are currently or have recently been analysts and associates — anonymously is totally fine, and I won't use any potentially identifiable info — in order to create a rich and detailed picture of what they go through in their jobs and the culture they work in at their company, as well as across the industry.
I'm exploring questions such as: How have working conditions changed or evolved in recent years, particularly during the pandemic? What's driving requests for better conditions and treatment and are they having an impact? Why are more analysts and associates leaving (or considering leaving) their jobs or the industry entirely, and what effect does that have on those who stay? Are banks' new comp increases and other perks making any difference? What impact does the job have on mental (and physical) health, and are banks responding appropriately?
Again, I'd love to speak with anyone who has been an analyst or associate at a bank (anonymously! unless they want to be on record) about their experience — each person's own story and anecdotes are valuable as I work to create a deep composite portrayal of what's going on now and broader trends affecting those roles at the moment.
