Whether it’s asking right after getting an offer “what’s the rank/prestige/exits of said firm” or asking “should I lie about SAT score in follow up email” do people who post after an interview essentially dox themselves and blow their cover? I guess you can’t be 100% sure but it seems like you would have a pretty good idea. Anyone have stories about knowing candidates who post suspiciously right after interview?

It's definitely best to stay fairly anon on here... don't think everyone in the industry is watching but word travels fast especially if there's any negative connotations
if you work in a tiny group and it's suddenly getting posted about, or someone's saying "I had an interview on XYZ day with Y group and talked about ABC" that is pretty obvious
Yes.
would you hold it against a candidate asking about exit opps?
Yes.
why do you even care lmao... you realize that probably over 90% of analysts only do IB for the exits
Because businesses plan for the long-term and don’t want to waste resources on temporary employees if they can help it. If that’s beyond normal thinking for you, perhaps you’re in the wrong industry.
If they said it in an interview, yeah that's bad.
But holding it against someone because you saw someone post on WSO about exits? Lmaooooo weird af
"If that's beyond normal thinking for you, perhaps you're in the wrong industry" -- EBs literally help their analysts recruit for PE (and in fact brag about their exits) but go on. BBs also know damn well that most analysts use it to exit lmaooo
Yes I’m interviewing candidates all the time
