What’s the longest amount of down time you’ve ever had?

I recently switched groups at my IB and have only been staffed on one thing since thanksgiving. Probably worked 30 hours a week the last 2 months. Has anyone else ever had this much down time?

I feel you on this. Been chilling for a while but just won the mandate for a deal that’s going to kill my group if not firm.
