MF Perks 2026

Coming off the thread on MM perks recently, wanted to make one for MFs out of curiosity / to see how it varies across the street. In the spirit of transparency, would be great if people can name firms if they feel comfortable.

And yes, I'm expecting the obligatory hair loss, weight gain, elevated cortisol, money, etc. troll responses but hoping to get some real ones too.
