With the lower COL in atlanta? damn theyre living life the right way

 

WLB was probably a lot better 3-5 years ago. Now realistically you’re looking at ~75 hours a week (lot of it spent fuckin around waiting for comments), with the caveat that all your coworkers are super chill and accommodating, both day to day and with regards to PTO. First year working on 2 live deals (one closing soon other in 6 months) but have done 7-8 pitches.

 

Know a guy who wanted a better WLB and left a top EB fo Truist. So, now he has a much better WLB and only a slightly lower salary. 

 

I can see this, people on this website are fixated on top salaries/bonuses from EB's but none of that matters - it only matters how much you save. If you pay thousands more a year in taxes living in NYC and an insane amount more for the cost of living, your bank account is gonna be smaller than the guys in the south.

I would say MM. It provides a full range of financial/CIB services, and has a national /multi-industry presence; it isn't confined to a given region or industry.Mergers and Inquisitions considers it an MM (https://www.mergersandinquisitions.com/middle-market-investment-banks/) alongside Baird, RJ, and Houlihan-Lokey, while 10X EBITDA considers it a "leading MM" as well (https://www.10xebitda.com/list-of-top-investment-banks/). I think the consensus is that it is not among the most well-known MMs, but isn't regional either.

 

Coming in as 2nd year at $105k. What should I expect as 6 month bonus? And, what to expect for full year bonus? Should I ask for any sign on bonus?
