My #1 priority is to be in New York. My view is, "if I'm going to be working 90-100 hours a week, I want to be near my family and friends in NYC." In addition, (this Middle Market bank) offers a unique experience, an opportunity to gain exposure to higher-level executives, and also more opportunities, if I work in the M&A group, to work on both buy-side and sell-side deals. That's definitely something that is a key consideration for me. I want to work on deals that are really important to the people involved because it will give me the pressure to perform to the best of my ability-this is an important factor in the role I am seeking. Finally, I feel that with the long hours I am going to be working, I want to be working for a firm that I enjoy. The fact that (this bank) is rated as one of the "Best Companies to Work For" is definitely a plus.
