Just curious if y'all have seen lifestyle differences between top/BB west coast IB teams vs. those in NY, especially given the endemic context? For example, more relaxed work from home policies after dinner time, selective days in office etc. Would also be interested in hearing about differences prior to the pandemic too. Is West Coast IB "chiller" than East Coast IB given the "chiller" culture.
Would certainly appreciate any comments! Thank you so much.
