Curious to hear about your experience. Have the chance to move from M&A internally, LevFin considered one of the best teams at my bank. Just curious what the lifestyle would look like on Analyst and Associate level. Frequent late nights, weekends etc.
Feel like I am in a lucky spot where culture is great, getting out at midnight most days, not many weekends I have to work but deal flow in LevFin is much higher.
