Pros

money is quite good for sector. It tdepends which team you work in. It will be interesting to see if this still continues in the present climate. Usual benefits of working for a large investment bank and good recognition within marketplace. Good opportunities to travel to various locations and also possibilities to relocate if you cant negotiate it with your manager. Good opportuinities for career progression if you work hard in the right areas

Cons

stress is quite considerable in some roles. Managers can be quite demanding as in any similar type of organisation.

Pros

Workload is manageable they don’t put too much on you. Hybrid you come into office once a week.

Cons

Some managers are nice some are not and if you have a manager who doesn’t like you it will make the job stressful. If you get a zero for QA part of your bonus will be gone and if you get 3 within a 7 month period you will have to come into office 3 days a week and be on a final and will not get a bonus, bonuses could be higher in my opinion, if your not a good collector they could be as low as $500-$700 every 3 months if your a decent collector they could be $1500 every 3 months if your a good collector they could be $2250-$3375 every 3 months but the base pay isn’t high enough either it’s 50k to 56k all around just not enough money
