Possibly the worst career choice I have made
Pros: -Brand is well respected in industry
-Base compensation is in line with market
-Room to grow if you don't mind working 80 hour weeks
Cons: -Talent is no better here than at any other top tier firm (despite the Kook Aid they will try to get you to drink)
-Dishonest about bonus structure. Targets are thrown out without the small print that VERY FEW people get anywhere near that target, and many people get little to nothing even if metrics are hit.
-Expectation that you are almost always working (at night in hotel room, on your late night flight home, on the weekends, etc.).
-If there is a Principal or MD in the room, it's a foregone conclusion that they are the smartest person there. Assume that you will have to explain things to them even if it's well outside their wheelhouse.
-Expectation for advancing to MD or Principal is that you will literally give up 2-3 years of your life to achieve that.
