I've seen several posts on here that talk about how brutal WFH is for IB analysts/associates. I also have several friends who WFH in tech, both FAANG and startups, but they almost all say how great it is. Why do you guys think there's such a difference in attitude towards WFH between bankers and techies? Is it because of the better work-life balance in tech or is there some other factor involved?

I’ve worked in FinTech not IB, but it has to do with sense of urgency. In IB, a group is measured on the revenue it generates. Compensation is based on what you bring in. Everything is needed “now” even if it doesn’t work out. Tech is more chill because it’s more of a corporate lifestyle. That’s my perception.
