London - IB analyst notice period?

Mine is 4 weeks - is that short/long compared to the market?

Asking because I am thinking about taking a short break in between jobs potentially.

Cheers

Investment Banking Career Roadmap (optional)

“Benjamin gave me a clear, honest roadmap for breaking into investment banking. We worked through where my current role and MSc fit, which banks and seats to target first, and what to prioritise over the next few months. Benjamin asked sharp questions about my background and was straight with me on realistic timelines and what banks look for in someone coming from outside the industry. Every part of the call was useful. I left with a plan I can act on right away. I'd recommend Benjamin to anyone.”

Investment Banking Why [Industry] Review

“Andre was kind and very insightful with my upcoming interview with HR for Evercore, particularly what kind of questions should come up and how to tailor your answers to be unique and really stand out amongst the crowd. Ultimately, I think he helped me prep a lot with clear next steps on what to research. ”
