How hard do Directors/Executive Directors Work in Banking?
Hey guys...I was just wondering how hard bankers above the VP position work at boutique investment banks as I got an offer to join a reputable boutique yesterday. Before accepting, I want to make sure the environment I will be joining will help me in my career and that I can learn from people above me - not necessarily at the MD level, as they will be traveling, but more so at the senior VP / Director level.
I know this varies by bank/person, but i have heard from several people at the boutique bank that i got an offer at that one of the directors in their power/energy/utilities group is hardly ever in, takes tons of vacation days, takes credit for things that go well/blames others for things that don't, doesn't open excel/ppt and doesnt contribute at all, travels to meetings 24 hours ahead of meeting, etc. Is this normal? After hearing this, I am reconsidering joining this bank as I want to be around people who can mentor me.
What is your experience/views? Thanks for your guys input and help
Very fucking hard (unless they've given up).
At director / executive director stage, they are close to making MD and therefore close to fulfillling the goal that theyve sacrificed for personally for many years. Therefore, extremely fucking hard.
That being said, sounds like your circumstances might a little different. There will still be a great deal of annoying travel and long days...
