Employment status: former
Experience level: Junior

Perfect fit: driven by money, need your ego pet, enjoy constant banter with people
Pros: People. Salary. If you're passionate about finance, endless opportunities for networking and growth.
Cons: Morning meetings were painful. Attendance was at an all-time low when I quit. The job itself was very operational and mind-numbing. 75% of daily duties require virtually no thought. As an analyst, you're expected to 'show face' and work evenings. While there were some nights my workload demanded the longer hours, there were more times I was there to kill time, which I found infuriating. If you're extremely productive, he/she is condemned for not having enough on their plate. If you're not, he/she is praised for working hard into the night. Flawed system. Lose-lose from my perspective. After 6 months,  most analysts were generally annoyed and unless absolutely necessary, nobody really had each other's back in balancing workload during busy seasons. I can't blame them. Large egos in VP+ roles. Hard to take myself seriously in PB.
