Am currently a first year at a BB investment bank in NYC. Was wondering if people that have moved from NYC to a different location for PE could shed some light on the process in general and explain how much more straining the interview process is.
I am open to most other metros (leaning towards DC or Chicago), but have probably ruled out staying in NYC. I know a lot of people have done it, but I just haven't heard about how traveling to interviews, etc. can be mixed in with banking hours.
