Anyone do a screener yet? I did a screener 1.5 weeks ago for Chicago Diversified Industrials but heard nothing back yet. Wanted to see where you guys are at within the process

Have a screener scheduled in about a week - checked the hr guy's schedule and he's stacked  

You can catch flies with honey, but you can catch more honeys looking fly
 

Makes sense why I didn’t hear anything back lol. Are his initials RK?

 

Hmm not sure if LinkedIn premium correlates to wanting to leave but I agree with your other point. Just be careful to not get burnt out before leaving lol

 

yeah it’s def a dumb assumption but compared to other banks, it rlly stood out to me. Given below market comp and MDs having such short duration historically just said a lot through my research. I’m wondering what are your thoughts on their industrials and FIG in chicago? i just want deal exposure with good modeling experience tbh bc idrc abt pay

 

I had the same thoughts as you on pay but it eventually got to me because I was grinded for way less than street. FIG is good, industrials is improving but sweaty

 

bro honestly like that’s still good compared to other jobs out of college. def rllyyyy bad compared to street which is why im tryna DIPP after a year. where did u end up going after Dadco?
