Seemed like the ones from chi were a lot more easygoing and relatively laid back. Conversations were more casual compared to a few I’ve had with analysts in ny where people sounded busy and in a rush, or were simultaneously working while doing the call.
For those working in midwest, is culture more relaxed?
