Hi All,
I currently work in Treasury middle management at a <10bn asset size fintech Bank doing a mix of project management, ops, and capital management/stress testing. I make enough to be comfortable, and I'm learning a lot on the capital/balance sheet management side of things which is my ultimate goal. I also have great WLB (unlimited PTO, 2 days remote, 3 days in office with short Fridays, can take off or WFH whenever I want if I have doctors appts, sick kid, etc as long as I don't abuse it and get my work done). Bonus is typically 10-20% where I am.
I'm likely getting an offer from Mizuho for a 20% salary increase in a VP/Director liquidity management role. Here are my questions for anyone with insight into Mizuho or Mizuho-like culture:
-
What is work/life balance like?
-
What is the corporate culture like? Bureaucratic? Collaborative? Everyone is siloed off into their respective realm of expertise, or is there exposure to a lot of interesting things?
-
What can I expect for bonus? This is through a recruiter and he's saying 25% - 40% bonus, but I don't know if he's just making up numbers or if that's the norm.
-
Career paths: are there clearly defined tracks and a progression path, promotions from within?
-
Any insight into their benefits package/401k?
-
Broadly speaking, would I be crazy to turn this opportunity down? My biggest concern is WLB. If I'm making 20% more but if I'm also working 20% more hours it would not be worth it to me as I'd be missing out on time watching my newborn son grow up.
Any other advice would be greatly appreciated. If this is the wrong subforum for this type of post please let me know. Thank you!

Good friend works at mizuho - stay away please you’re going to actually hate your life
sounds like you have a fantastic role that pays decent and a family, don’t give it up
their 401k matching plus fidelity bonus is fat though
Thanks for the response! Was there anything specifically he/she didn't like, or was it purely an hours thing?
The toxicity of the employees there is unreal, attempting to become a full scale m&a platform is not going well, a bunch of underperforming MDs spinning up work for everyone to try and cover their butts for another 12 months. not tryna say too too much more, but trust me it’s bad
Thanks a ton for the incredibly helpful response! This aligns with some concerns I had that came up from responses to a few of my questions during the interview process.
