Is this "where can I earn the most money per hour post MBA?"
I suggest you contact Spitzer if so.
I think no matter where you work in Investment Banking, if you don't like the job the hours are going to suck. If you work West Coast S+T, you are in the office for New York opening. If you work there for IB, the hours may be better than NYC, but you are at a hub and get less love when the bonuses and promotions come in (I have a friend in Chicago considering coming back to NYC, even though it kills him, for that very reason).
I am sorry if I sound a bit rough on this. I get really tired with the apparent want to earn as much as possible for as little as possible mindset, and it raises my ire.
No, your response is understandable. I am actually originally from LA, and was wanting to make my way back out there, but everyone tells me that if I want to do IB or finance sectors, things will be on the slower track if I am not in NYC, which I am fine with, but I was wondering if the hours are just as bad out in LA, then even location would not suffice enough as a good reason to move back to LA over going to NYC and suffering the cold and the hours. So no, my post was not intentionally meant to ask that, but rather, do the IB branch offices in LA work less because they do support work for NYC headquarter offices, and if so is it different sectors in LA offices? I am wanting to do my own research, but didn't have any idea on what to search for.
