May 9, 2021 at 15:57 comment added Steve "Fast-paced" is just a buzzword for a boiler room where quality will be poor and pressure high, usually because they are competing against a firm that already does it better, or because they have a large amount of hangers-on amongst the owners and bankers whose extraction of resources leaves the firm with little room to breathe.
May 9, 2021 at 14:02 comment added Fattie @foamroll - you are wildly, wildly overthinking this. it's a buzzword that means literally nothing.

May 8, 2021 at 23:46 comment added David R The real question is: can you take that phrase as a flag to avoid applying at those companies? Perhaps. Or take it as an indicator to ask pointed questions about work life balance in the interview and make a decision based on the answers.

May 8, 2021 at 21:11 comment added foamroll I disagree that I'm overthinking this. I'd argue a book can be written on the questions here, and probably related books exist. I'd be up for any recos on those. Yes, questions I have would have company specific answers, however, I'm interested in any emergent patterns and studies that may have looked into this.

May 8, 2021 at 20:50 comment added Philipp I think you are overthinking this. "fast-paced" is a buzzword. It does not mean anything concrete. The answers to all the questions you have are highly company-specific. We can not answer them, because every company is different.
