Yes the bank is run like shit and is an absolute sweatshop.

They mass laid off most of their juniors back in 2022 and 2023. They also raised A1 bases to $140k (which was later bumped back down lmfao), but the catch is that as an analyst your bonus vests over 3 years. So if you make a $60k bonus you only collect $20k the first year, and basically never get the whole thing if you are planning to leave.

Dude stop begging for questions. Why would your competitors who went through the process help their competition. Study like you would for any IB interview and earn the offer

 

have my first round coming up soon -- would anyone be willing to talk abt their experiences? i'm a comp. sci. major (no prev. finance experience, besides reading through the 400 IB questions doc LOL), so i'm a little nervous...
