If you work in banking - even as an intern - you obviously have access to everything in the IB share drive including the WGLs for all deals going on. Esp. for capital raising deals where there will be many banks working together. Less so or N.A. for M&A deals. Networking is how you lateral...
Is it wrong or illegal to network off your bank's WGL?
Anyone know any lenders that still do long term, preferably 10 years, on interest only loans? We have an existing property, with $6 million in debt. I prefer to do I/O for like 5-10 years then have it convertible to amortizing term. I called several banks and many cringed at interest only unless...
Commercial Interest Only Loans?
I have seen discussions relating to this topic before, and I have read through them, but I am going to get a little more specific with my questions. I am about to embark on a RE IBD Summer Analyst role at a BB and was wondering if what I read on this forum is correct - mainly that the only exit...

Got a career question
I guess this is kind of like the chicken or the egg argument, but I'm curious to see how people respond. From your personal experiences, have you chosen where you would like to live first, then go about finding a job in that area, or has it been more along the lines of taking the best offer...

Buyside recruiting article by the NYT
Hi everyone, I just have a quick question for anyone who is familiar with GE CAS and the path to that program. I was wondering if FMP is the only way to potentially get selected into into CAS later on or if other groups within GE also have a shot at getting in. Right now, based on the degree...
