Monkeys,
What if WSO created an app / tool called 'Rate My Senior Banker'? Essentially an anonymized platform for current / previous junior bankers to give positive or negative feedback on their experience with x MD, Director, VP.
Everyone knows the app 'Rate My Professor'. Their value prop is as follows: "With over 1.3 million professors, 7000 schools & 15 million ratings, Rate My Professors is the best professor ratings source based on student feedback."
The Goldman 13 and the WSO Survey really got me thinking...

The data itself would be interesting and entertaining, although unlikely to be meaningful - rating teachers has a much more objective framework, whereas there's a higher level of subjectivity when ranking MDs, or any manager in an organization for that matter (particularly when if you're asking a bunch of miserable, sleep-deprived monkeys). From a business perspective it makes zero sense because it's a tiny addressable market, and unlike teachers that go through thousands of students every year, there's almost no anonymity if you're going to show the name of the MD / D / VP and the year of the rating - huge liability here.
Agreed. More of an interesting thought experiment.
Do you think there is a way to mitigate against the anonymized risk or sleep deprived monkey bias?
This would be both amazing and hysterical.
Definitely a moon shot but would be interesting to see if there was an benefit to the data for future monkeys.
I feel like even the nicest MDs will get tons of shit thrown on them because that's the nature of the relationship lol
Entertaining, sure, but unlike professors, I don't think you get to choose your MD/team unless you have a few offers to choose from. I read RateMyProfessor to get a glimpse of who was teaching my class so that I could avoid the bad ones and get the good ones. Don't have the same flexibility in the case of a full time job.
Similar to any ratings or review site, the only times people will write a review are if they are either really happy or really angry. Given IB's nature and the limited time we get outside of work, I doubt the site will be filled with anything but negative reviews about every MD.
Lol the highest rating for any MD on the site will be 3/5 stars
