How about MBA students?
Good suggestion - I just added an option for that at the bottom of the poll. Thanks
Lol I only view this forum once every couple weeks, mainly in PE if anything
I find the advice here helpful for job recruiting. Guess if you get to PE, you already are at the point when you know how to interview and find jobs and such?
Who’s even doing work these days lol
Why wouldn’t you be working?
Bro it’s the holidays
What students are reading this forum on a Friday?
Sir, have you interacted with any Gen Z IB Analysts? Buncha dweebs.
This is just a recruiting advice forum so most people are going to be college kids and analysts who are still trying to figure out the job.
Associates just come on here to see what bonuses other places are paying lol
Too busy for wso, too busy to work on deals
yup - altho sometimes i like to look at the nonsense going on here
Really? Why is everyone a prospect or an analyst?
This is primarily a place for
(1) students to measure each other’s d**ks; and
(2) for actual professionals to vent.
There is certainly more than this. There is good advice here. There is good conversation. But, those two are at least the plurality if not the majority of topics here
Find it funny that at the time of looking at this its a perfect 50/50 split between students & interns to FT IB
Voted IB Associate even though I'm in PE now. I mainly come here these days just to see the top threads and hear what the talk of the street / rumor mill is and discern if anything interesting is going down.
Sometimes when it's really slow at work I'll kill some time browsing threads, seeing if there are any good jokes / puns I can make or any topics I'm qualified to speak on at length to be helpful. I do get annoyed sometimes at the amount of Students through AN1s that think they know everything about everything. I was one too though.
There should be a mental health / workplace venting forum for people to discuss such topics
Yes definitely. Lots of people seem to need a place to vent about workplace annoyances / wlb
