Hey guys,
Thanks for taking the time to answer. Just curious about any updated thoughts on BAM. Completely understand that everything in dependent upon the PM but curious about comp, associate to analyst to PM progression and anything else you think would be helpful to know. Currently have two offers from different MMs and both PMs are very good so just trying to decide. Appreciate the help!
Thanks!

Hey Analyst 1 in IB-M&A, what a lonely thread. I'm here since nobody responded ...so maybe one of these discussions will help:
More suggestions...
If those topics were completely useless, don't blame me, blame my programmers...

You have 2 offers and don't know your comp? Seems like something you should ask about
No, I meant comp progression. I ended up signing with Baly today given the quality of PM. Thanks for the help!
Ah seen. Good luck with the new job :)
Have two friends at Baly and their respective pods are crushing it. As you alluded to, it really depends on the PM who is heading up your pod and how interested you are in the pod's area of focus. Otherwise really tough to compare other MMs unless you're looking at parallel pods.
are they both fundamental equities PMs?
Both in L/S pods which are solely industry-focused, no other strategy attached
Thank you, sir. I already signed my offer with Baly because the PM is an absolute stud with a track record of developing analysts but it's certainly reassuring to know that your friends are liking it there.
Hey congrats bud that's a fantastic seat and you'll certainly be comped well per what my friends made their first year there haha
Do you have any advice for the Balyasny model test?
Just out of curiosity, where can you find information on PM's? Is it easy to google them?
Do you have any insight into the BAM model test? Mine is coming up and getting pretty nervous.
