Edit: Anyone know how “real” the GS discount is? Is my IB bonus going to be less than 40k-60k?

 

I personally do not care about deals ( IB or PE), however, due to the connections I have with PE firms I interviewed at MF's to practice, and to see how far I could go in the interview process. Due to the work I do, I have strong connections at a few buy-side firms ( AM, HFS, and PE) and I thought that S&T was a much stronger fit for me post-uni than any other I received. 

I am also a huge believer in culture and the culture at KKR was not the best for me, and the role I signed with I believe is the best for myself especially from a diversity standpoint. 

Additionally, with respect to the money that KKR offered, I am fortunate enough that I never have to take a job because of the money offered. In the grand scheme of things,  I will make more money at 22 years old than most human beings see within a year and I actually will enjoy my work.

I also don't care about prestige tbh, I have gone to the " Top Firms" within their respective industries for internships and it helps on a resume but much rather do what I want and enjoy the people I am around than slum it at some firm I don't enjoy being at.

If you would like to chat offline, ping me.

Cheers.
