Young Bankers Who Commute into the City - How Do You Do It?

This is in reference to NYC. Any analysts through VPs out there who commute into the city multiple days a week? I'm not talking JC/Hoboken/LIC, but like full-fledged suburbs.

- What time do you wake up and leave?

- How long is your commute?

- Do you take public transit or rideshare in the PM?

-What's the biggest sacrifice you've had to make?

- Do other team members live in the 'burbs as well?

- Why did you decide to leave or not live in the City?

- Biggest regret/thing you miss most about the City?

-Are you renting or owning?

Thanks in advance!

Investment Banking Short Resume Review / Recap

“My mentor got on at 4 AM to make the session work with my schedule, which says a lot about how much he cares about helping students. He walked through every single point I brought, never rushed me, and made sure I actually understood each one before moving on. He was patient and direct, and he gave me honest feedback when something needed work. I left the call with a clear plan and a lot more confidence than I had going in. I would absolutely book with him again and recommend him to anyone looking for real, practical guidance.”
