Curious about the analyst experience
What I prioritize: WLB (would be bad anyways but curious about which one is slightly better), comps, learning, relocation opportunities
What I prioritize less: prestige & placement into mega funds (thinking about lateraling into corp dev / VC / tech instead)
Any insights are helpful!
