+74 You do realize that you’re asking a site filled with some of the biggest banking hardos to quit a job that they jack off to every night right. Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+58 This country used to be great. Now a 3 martini brunch gets you reported to HR. Philly Special
+55 Unless it has its own entrance and no access to shared space, you’re the one being unreasonable.  SaaSChimp
+48 My bank is ranked below what my ego prefers. That said, this is objectively wrong.  Intern in IB - Cov
+39 What do you mean the garage door repair and installation rollup isn’t worth 24x EBITDA? Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+35 To be fair the guy sounds more like a woman than a sexist Partner in IB - Gen
+34 Feels like COVID/rates have become a convenient excuse for a decade of bad office calls. Director in RE - Other
+32 Because once they sell, the money goes back to investors, and Shorenstein may never see it again. Investors can redeploy wherever returns are better. Out of the promote but still collecting fees, why sell? Associate 1 in RE - Comm
+30 This is incredibly gay, delete this or at least remove your identifying info. You haven't even been in spindle for a month bro. Intern in IB - Cov
+30 Anyone else remember that Journal piece on Brandon? It came off like someone born with a silver spoon blaming the market. It looks a lot more self-inflicted now. Associate 3 in RE - Comm
+30 Senior VP in RE - OtherWhy isn’t she involved in the family business? IsItREPE
+30 Nah it really sucks. Everyone I know who’s in it or left it has told me it’s hell on earth and in many cases much worse than banking. I didn’t even recruit for it.  Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+30 Public markets has "Inverse Cramer" while real estate has "Inverse Shorenstein" Assist. VP in RE - Comm
+29 MOE might be a tier above JEFF, but at this point, I’m wondering what makes GUGG and PWP “elite.” Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+28 Family businesses are complicated SF_Giants
+28 Alignment of interest. Perfectly aligned with the fee stream. Principal in RE - Other
+27 Also hearing they're holding onto a lot of the legacy portfolio even though they're way out of the promote. Hard not to wonder how much the fee stream factors into that. Senior VP in RE - Comm
+27 Username checks out Intern in IB - CB
+27 This isn’t that complicated and has been discussed here to death.  IsItREPE
+26 Don't worry bro I'll move in for you. I don't need my own room though  Principal in HF - Event

+24 Is Danielle Shorenstein at Prospect Ridge related? She’s sharp AF and ex-Blackstone  Senior VP in RE - Other
+23 She did her due diligence and passed Associate 2 in RE - Other
+22 Weird boomer condescension aside, this is actually helpful. Cheers! submartingale123
+22 He left office entirely for R&D/advanced manufacturing. After ten years with a front row seat to Shorenstein's portfolio, he chose a different asset class. Says a lot. Senior VP in RE - Comm
+21 Thank you for your advice, seasoned Student At Wharton Quant in HF - EquityHedge
+20 Idk if I’d be bragging about buying $2B of core office with the 10Y UST up 1.25%. Not a lot of room for error on those deals. Curious where they mark today Associate 2 in RE - Other
+20 Congrats on IU Kelly! user527861
+20 I used to work at an institutional investment manager in the Bay Area. We stopped re-upping with them after Fund XI. My understanding was there were concerns with leadership. Director in RE - Comm
+19 Try bumping more you idiots! nontargetkidatunc
+18 This is wildly inaccurate - we sometimes also read quarterly letters. anon-guest
+18 be an acquisitions guy in 2026 tinyrat
+18 Prompting issue Partner in IB - Gen
+17 Why not sell to recycle the capital into better opportunities? BayAreaNative
+17 Prestige, especially high finance prestige, is one of the funniest concepts to think about in my opinion, because it matters very much or at least appears to matter very much when you're outside of the game and getting in, Prospect in Risk Mnmgt
+17 Congrats on GUGG. Prolly just a junior student who is trying to convince people that GUGG is on par with PWP/MOE and use Jefferies as a scapegoat Prospect in IB-M&A
+16 Anonymous Monkey: Energy_IB_Monkey
+16 Think about it this way. These groups are named Corporate and Investment Banking. CIB Analyst is your stated title. It’s on the offer letter. Intern in IB - CB
+16 2–3 years ago it was mostly people leaving for greener pastures. More recently, seems like a mix of people getting let go and people quitting with no gig lined up. Associate 2 in RE - Comm
+15 Looks more like incompetence than bad luck. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+15 This is proper ai slop Hardo Intern
+15 I'll bite on the RX names (pursuant to my comment above).  Associate 2 in IB - Restr
+15 It's good for EQT and good for Stockbridge's senior people. Stockbridge kinda stagnated for a bit. Stockbridge is a good platform but very little growth recently and top heavy/bloated.  Principal in RE - Comm
+14 Just because something is a meatgrinder doesn’t mean surviving it has inherent value or is something to be proud of. Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+14 0 downside to sleeping with her btw  Intern in IB - Gen
+14 Bro, you're working at a distressed credit fund Determined
+14 Ok…go on the career pages for the 3 top Ivy League schools and MIT…click on the shcool only job board…you’ll notice how it’s locked behind a student login portal…go to the URL…delete some stuff…there you go…there’s also pr Investment Analyst in HF - Event
+14 Jesus Christ JPBoregan
+14 BIG GION PM in HF - EquityHedge
+13 The office trade was to buy SF or NY 18 months ago. Shorenstein missed both. No new deals in SF, and they’re only now showing up in NY after Tishman captured the upside. Partner in RE - Res
+13 Modelling was never the hallmark of a good associate, just a prerequisite, I am not sure why anyone thinks anything else. VP in PE - LBOs
+13 Shut up and dribble bitch - when / if you get to associate you’ll do the same thing Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+13 Damn really struck a nerve with the corporate [and investment] bankers Gold-ManSacks
+13 “underscoring its continued conviction and leadership” lmao come on Berkeley12
+13 Not a banker but I do manage people and I imagine it all happens for similar reasons. You probably won't get this until you're also managing people but nutmegger189
+13 U not connected gng - stay in ya lane Associate 3 in IB-M&A
+13 You’re not missing anything. The Trump Administration’s entire purpose is to enrich the Trump family while basement dwellers like Stephen Miller and Pete Hegseth enact their little fascist fantasies. IsItREPE
+13 You are a caricature of a right winger who is embarassed to call themselves a Republican so they pretend to be some sort of enlightened centrist.  IsItREPE
+13 Dude whatever just get on with your day Intern in IB - CB
+12 Two things. First, anyone who claims to know when on-cycle is kicking off doesn't know what they're talking about. chipmcgee
+12 Quitting with no new role lined up in this market is pretty telling. I can barely get interviews right now lol. Associate 1 in RE - Comm
+12 Always has been…it’s table stakes. Using a model to think commercially about a business / transaction is a different skillset, and something Claude can’t teach. dawgbrew
+12 This is misguided. All megafunds taste like chicken. Sure the inclination is to think your lesser MF gig is subpar, but it’s more just the maturity of the industry and general macro. Principal in PE - LBOs
+12 Think the answer really depends on what type of secondaries you’re doing. Associate 1 in PE - Other
+12 they’ll immediately whitelist you bro i would try this asap vj30
+11 Hard to turn around. You should pursue HF if you love the dynamism and volatility of public markets. If there's any doubt around that, you shouldn't try. MMPM
+11 Agreed, although I think Korea NPS' ownership in Stockbridge is part of the sale to EQT ($375M). The earnout is related to performance targets ($175M). Principal in RE - Comm
+11 I disagree. It has left tail outcomes Prospect in IB-M&A
+11 Stop being risk-averse nerds trying to min-max your life and do what you actually find interesting. One of the great beauties of life is that nothing has to be or typically is fully linear, because the world isn't linear. VP in PE - LBOs
+11 Lol this reads like a press release Associate 1 in RE - Comm
+11 How is this even a debate? Think through the interview script: SaaSChimp
+11 Something that worked for me was: after the interviews/networking meetings in which someone said "we’d love to have you, but we’re just not hiring right now," ask the person three other people they think you should m CRE
+11 I’m going to give a few thoughts on this. Apologize if this comes across as being blunt; just how I write. Investment Analyst in HF - Event
+11 Beyond a baseline of technical competence (which isn't that high; this isn't rocket science and you're expected to learn a lot on the job), so much of hiring is fit, not knowledge.  CRE
+10 Have a friend there who confirmed it's 20+ in TMT. Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+10 Basically why buy any RE below 6 cap when risk free is 5.25.. Copers will come in saying they have 50% MTM and a bunch of other nonsense  Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+10 Gonna preface this short thought by saying that the MBB name is very prestigious. CFO in CorpFin
+10 One of my mentors told me the real value-add of a great investor is pattern recognition and relationships, with companies, stakeholders, and your own people. VP in PE - LBOs
+10 #1 Chi Phi babalu
+10 WF is top 5ish in league tables. To rank them with BMO and Cain is laughable  Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+10 Is this “friend” in the room with us right now? Intern in IB-M&A
+10 It's great you feel you have that energy right now. What you might not realize is that kind of intensity might result in early burnout. It can also lead to a very unidimensional life that ends up making you miserable. MMPM
+10 stop thinking like this is another “path”. this isnt PE or IV where you just mindlessly crunch numbers and build ppts. only enter LS if you absolutely love it. equitystrat
+10 Shut the fuck up 好好学习天天向上
+10 Why isn’t she involved in the family business? Senior VP in RE - Other
+10 I can tell you needed to get this off your chest. And if you feel vindicated by it, then that’s excellent for you. What works for some may not work for others, and vis-versa. Associate 2 in IB - Restr
+10 Chicago is a prison the keeps the dark forces of evil (Baird/Blair/Lincoln/Gugg MM) at bay. googoogagaga
+10 The population of Ukraine wants to fight. The viable alternatives to Zel are more anti russia. If he steps down/loses an election then fine, but the replacement will probably get more aggressive. Pathaan
+9 Never met a doctor who had to fix a patient 15 times just to revert to the first revision because a more senior doctor thought he had a good idea Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+9 Why do people say they work in Mergers AND Acquisitions? It's one or the other.  Associate 3 in IB - CB
+9 Congrats on Deutsche tech! burner18363737728
+9 most socially aware PE bro Analyst 1 in IB - Cov

+9 Pretty easy to see Wells is now a BB, UBS is not Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+9 Honestly I take requests from Analyst 1 in CorpStrat
