Is this remotely normal in IB? 1 year vacation offered?
Saw on linkedin at a BB in NYC a girl did 2 years as an IB analyst. She then did 1 year as an associate at same bank. She then had a thing on her linkedin that said "Career Break" (as a job / experience) and it said "backpacked asia for 7 months and Europe for 5 months", and then her next job was the same bank and associate again.
So she just straight up was able to take 1 full year off? Is this remotely normal at all? I have never seen it before at all. Maybe she just quit and then a year later reapplied, had good references, and was able to join the same exact team? (It was same coverage group) Good for her. Solid.
Thats kinda dope
Kinda dope? its fucking awesome
Bump, want to do the same lol
Run her last name across the executives and senior MDs directory. This is trust fund baby behavior.
I have seen it before but usually after a few more years (4-5 years on the job) for 6-12 month. Guess you need to be well-connected or top bucket
Have seen it happen at more senior levels (VP) in a BB for a shorter period (6 months)
Well she's a girl. Banks will tailor to a girl's needs no matter what and not lay her off.

I mean it’s low key true
I understand that it bothers you but I was on the hiring committee at my IB years ago and you would be shocked at how upfront the department heads were about keeping women. Literally didn't care about performance. That was ~2018-2019, imagine now after the big DEI push industrywide.
maybe she just asked and got granted the time
never know what's possible if you ask
Wasn’t in IB, but was at a large prestigious company where you could take up to a 27 month sabbatical. Downside was that you come back to your career where it was before and everyone else has basically been promoted.
Maybe she got voluntary furlough? Was this during 2020?
Almost all of Asia was under lockdown during 2020.
I think stuff like this is possible if there are multiple factors at play. Maybe she quit because of burn out but left on good terms, then when she was recruiting again the firm REALLY needed someone and knew that she would be a seamless fit. Win-win for both sides.
Also ofc, it could be she got help because she is a women and/or nepo baby. Who knows, but she played her cards well (no hate).
She quit / was fired
