About to join a notoriously “sweaty” group
About to start as a summer analyst at a group known for working juniors hard. I know there’s a million of these threads but just wondering if anyone has some survival tips they care to share. Tips on securing that return offer also appreciated!
Absolute legend. Thanks. When you mention “interview for FT” i was under the impression if you get a return offer you dont have to interview… am i wrong?
I meant more that the prep and detail would be good to have. Sometimes there are posts that people have to re-interview. Just prepping for the worst and being surprised by the upside would be helpful.
Spot on. To add.
1. Get your life admin sorted before you starts. Iron all your shirts (and have 6/7 so you have spares), polish your shoes (2 pairs) etc.
2. Don't do what I see interns doing and just network without focusing on the work. Especially with Senior bankers. Mostly it will be analysts and associates who have the say on your return. Us Seniors trust the staffer and juniors to sort out intern returns.

Hey man, best advice I got was don’t pity yourself. Even if you get stuck with seriously toxic and shitty people to work with, the moment you start feeling bad for yourself will make it 100x worse. Its a just job at the end of the day, always focus on the positives, emphasize any learning potential, and know its never the end especially at this point in your career.
Thanks! Fortunately the people in the group seem great, I’m just expecting it to be stupid busy
Honestly I’ve worked 100+ hours with some absolute beauts and it wasn’t nearly as bad as 70hrs with assholes. Think if culture is great you’ll get accustomed to the hours over time (consistent 100hr weeks will never get used to unfortunately but hopefully that doesn’t happen often).
Congrats on Moelis/Lazard if not Ducera
Congrats on Evercore TMT!
