So we have 29 members now, I'd just like to know: what is it that pisses you off most about your job?

Are you satisfied with your comp?

I've seen so many colleagues go nuts, one even attempted to off himself (and got admitted into an asylum). That's when I moved out of IB myself. I was concerned that could happen to me.

Feel free to share your reasons for joining this group.

  • 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?
  • I'm a JD/MBA class of 2015. Both law and mba programs are in the us news top 25 but not many banks recruit on campus. I'm wondering if its possible/likely to get interviews for BB IB (hopefully in NYC but i am nowhere near NYC now) for a SA for summer 2014 by applying through...

  • I just finished my freshman year at U of M in LSA. I applied to the business school and will hear whether or not I get in in around a month. I had a 4.0, but my extracurriculars and essays might be a little weak. It seems as though the last few years Ross admissions has been very essay/EC weighted....

  • Hi, Looking to get some color about the best way to spend the last week before the exam. As of now I've nearly exhumed all difficult/advanced q-bank questions with an average of 78%. Knocked out 2.5 practice exams and plan on doing another two. What are some of the things you guys did...

  • 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...

  • 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...
    RE IBD: Are the Exit Opps Really That Limited?
  • What are some of the reasons people would want to work in this F500 function? From my reading on here, some people claim its a good alternative to IB given the fewer amount of hours worked.. Is Corp. Strategy something consultants would prefer and ex-bankers would opt for Corp. Dev? Can someone...
    Why Corporate Strategy?

  • So, after 2 months of preparation and studying (a lot of credit due to Phantombanker's study guide) I got a 770 on the GMAT. So now I'm turning my focus to actually applying to schools. I'm wondering if I should get more work experience or have a reasonable shot at...
