Overall rating: 3/5
Employment status: current
Experience level: Junior

No work life balance, barely learn any hard skills
Pros: Good compensation;
Higher than industry average annual base salary increase;
Mostly good team members.
What else? Can't think of more...
Cons: Quant Advisory group's projects are getting more and more boring. You will see more documentation projects, where you will see a bunch of PhDs and STEM masters doing copy-pasting, editing format in MS Word or do simple calculations in Excel, feeling frustrated and confused about why they accept the offer to do this type of work... performance review is completely black boxed and favoritism is obvious but no one can say anything about it. Extremely high turnover rate.

Bottom line, you will learn soft skills for sure, but you will never learn any hard skills nor have a deeper understanding of any banking business.
