We'll extract the descriptive part about firm, culture, offices, commitment, etc. We'll omit the repeated benefits and EEO details (though they are part of About Us but they are boilerplate; we should remove EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate). So we need to strip out the EEO list and accommodation statements.

We'll omit the long list of protected classes and accommodation.

Location maybe not required but we could include in About the role paragraph already mentions New York. Could also add a short paragraph about location but not needed. About Us: we could add a section maybe "About the firm" but not in allowed headings list. The instructions say use h3 for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings but says "usefor section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)". It implies we should use those headings when appropriate; we could add another heading like "About Jefferies" but not in list; maybe better to omit to avoid extra heading. However we need to preserve substantive info about the firm. Could incorporate into About the role paragraph? Already we have a short sentence about seeking associate. The firm description is separate; we could add a paragraph after About the role before Responsibilities: maybe a
about Jefferies. That would preserve info without extra heading. Thus after About the role paragraph we add a
describing Jefferies. Let's craft:
