How long did it take you to find a new job?
For those of you who didn't follow the private equity pathway or continue on at your firms beyond the analyst stint, how long did it take you to find a new job? And what was it like trying to interview for other positions whilst still working in banking?
Curious because I may leave banking without another job lined up, though the ball is well and truly rolling. I understand that most of the time people would recommend staying until you move, but the effects my job has on my health are huge and I don't think it's wise to go through this for much longer. Thankfully money isn't an issue anymore, at least for the moment.

Not seeking PE but currently trying to get into CRE finance/development. Been at it for 7 months now.
Same here, but i've only been searching for what's now a little over 3 months.
Depends on what type of job you want. FP&A job would probably be pretty easy, but would likely be 40% to 50% of your current compensation. If you have high compensation expectations, it will likely take longer.
What type of roles are you looking for? I guess if you're looking to move to another BB or PE it may take longer!
