First year analyst at WFS in banking. Deal flow is strong and comp is street. My hours are generally 70-80 a week. We get one protected weekend a month. My time is split between 30-40% debt deals, 20-30% M&A, and 30-40% equity. I'm in a coverage group. Getting looks from all the main recruiters and funds both in private and public markets. MF PE has been limited, but tons of UMM PE and name brand HFs as well as F50 corp dev. Close knit team and no face time policy. Plan is to stay for the full two years, potentially a third year if I feel like my learning curve hasn't plateaued.
