heard great things on comp / deal flow overall.
Yeah, really small but great firm. Where did you find the diversity day listing?
club listservs at their targets (wharton, ross, harvard) got it i think
Little bro at Dartmouth also got an invite but I don't think that's a core school for them
UChicago is also on the list
Great firm but I find it funny they don’t let you tell anyone you work there lol
Fr? is that why no one is listed on linkedin
Any info on associate level?
from an old listserv email

I went through their process last year - got bodied by technicals. i know back in the day their comp was materially above market, like $95k base with 100% bonus vs other banks at $80-85k base, so was seen as one of the best offers you could get along with PJT RX / EVR / Qatalyst / Raine / CVP etc, but not sure where their comp stands now relative to other banks. Would expect it to still be above market given it's a iykyk type of firm so you're trading some name recognition
would be able to provide more info into the kind of techs asked? would be super helpful
Did anyone hear back about the diversity day?
.
Damn congrats..

Anyone do the diversity day? Did they do first-rounds / say anything about when they might kick off the regular process?
Did the Penn coffee chats just fill up in under a minute wtf
I saw the email 2 minutes after they were sent and couldn't get one lol
first rounds for Michigan went out
Got one. I don't know any tecs though. Should I still go though or nah. Thinking of just ghosting
.
do you know what other schools went out for R1?
anyone heard back for R2 after R1?
Not yet although just had R1 yesterday
Wtf are these troll comments, this definitely is a fake investment bank created by some college students. "Patrick Bateman" comes up as the CEO
astounding level of arrogance lmao. michael klein is one of the top 10 most recognizable names in IB…
This is the IB owned by the SPAC king - Michael Klein right? Man, if this is really "the" M. Klein's firm then it is highly reputable. I mean, this guy is literally the genius behind the CCIV-Lucid Motors reverse merger. it was unfortunate that CS First Boston failed to materialise
pipe down intern
