Is the pace slower outside of NY?

Having worked both in and outside of NY, I've noticed that outside of NY the pace is a little slower. While the front-office team is diligent, small things I've come to notice like the HR staff, BD people etc. move with a little less urgency.

Have any of you monkeys noticed a different pace of work outside ny and other major metropolitans?

Investment Banking Mock Interview

“Very patient in explanation and was very good at walking me through some of the concepts without giving anything away. Great job breaking up the material and asking questions outside of the 400 guide which really tested my knowledge on some of the more basic concepts I thought I had a good understanding of, but might need to learn a little more. Will continue to schedule Consatantin as I thought the overall ease of the scheduling was nice, and he was more that available to go over the origonal time we had planned out.”

Investment Banking 7 Stories Review

“Michael was a huge help getting me ready for my Lazard HireVue. I came in with a lot of good material but my answers were running long and I kept rambling through my stories. He walked me through each one and helped me cut them down so they were concise and hit the main points without losing what makes them mine. He was honest about what was not working and gave me clear ways to fix it instead of just general advice. I left the call feeling way more confident and organized going into the interview. I would definitely work with him again.”
