Boyfriend is about to work at above named shop. Wondering if anyone has insights about the culture there (WFH policies, weekends off potentially?, federal holidays policies). He is not looking for buy side exits, so probably won’t grind that hard. If anyone knows at all, I would also love to hear how busy they’ll be in general. Thanks!

non nyc HL rx but from what I have heard they are 4 days in office, much better culture than some other rx groups and hl LA rx as well. alot of team outings, soccer games, volunteer events that would make me think they are pretty flexible on facetime. ik there's also been efforts to improve analyst exp due to alot of them leaving with checkins and midyear surveys for all first years so they should be treated pretty decently
Above is generally accurate with the caveat that 4 vs. 5 days in office depends on who you work with, where you sit on 18 relative to certain people, and what you think you can get away with given your overall reputation come bonus time
can i ask how your exp w lateralling from mm ibd to rx ft? was it more due to unique covid era timing or you think it's achievable currently?
definitely was unique. Got very lucky on timing as I was looking at healthcare IBD roles and Rx simultaneously (ran into rx pretty late into my college years and really liked the stuff I learnt/read about it). It's still doable, just gotta blast emails (ideally to alumni)
What do you mean by this: "He is not looking for buy side exits, so probably won’t grind that hard"
He is going to work less hard bc he doesnt want to do buy side?
