Hi @seabirb, when you look beyond the brand name, it becomes clear. Morgan Stanley might sound flashy, but let’s not ignore the current sentiment reviews around culture, leadership support and flexibility haven't exactly been glowing lately. A name alone won’t nurture your growth or protect your mental space.

Synchrony, on the other hand, seems to have built something more meaningful - supportive management, great WFH flexibility, a genuine focus on employee well-being. These are not small perks, they’re foundations for long-term career and personal alignment. If WFH is a concern, ask about future policies, relocation expectations and team flexibility. Don’t let fear about future WFH policy cloud your choice, just be clear with the team upfront. Ask the right questions now: “What are your long-term expectations around WFH?” or “If WFH becomes hybrid, is relocation mandatory?” Once you get that clarity, everything else will start falling into place.

Clarity here isn’t just professional, it’s empowering. End of the day, the decision should nourish you, not just your LinkedIn headline. Choose the space that allows you to grow in peace. With other factors you noted, Synchrony feels like that space. If you agree and still don't have an answer by any chance, do ask yourself - why isn't this a simpler choice for you?

I second you on the culture part, it has been compromised and diluted off late, in last 3 years. Likely due to sub standard hiring.
