+11 y is everyone taking this seriously lol akxoisjwn
+10 profound Fast and Fiduciary
+10 We did. Decades of Republican administrations dismantled the social safety net, the middle class, and the insane asylums, starting with Reagan. IsItREPE
+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 Two things. First, anyone who claims to know when on-cycle is kicking off doesn't know what they're talking about. chipmcgee
+10 I am genuinely fascinated how a math/physics genius ended up at a brokerage firm. Did you spend time in prison?  IsItREPE
+10 Then don't? Do something else? Nobody here is going to tell you to stay in an industry you hate/don't want to be in out of some theoretical obligation to "the path". That's just sunk cost fallacy. PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀
+10 Hats off. Top 3 WSO post of all time.  LBOtopboy
+10 More than a dozen foreclosures/deeds-in-lieu in SF, NYC, LA, Chicago, Denver, Seattle, Philly, DC, Minneapolis, Pittsburgh, Houston and elsewhere. Hard to “make a killing” buying stabilized core office. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+10 Might be particularly well-suited to answer this one. I'm currently at a SWF (though not one listed here) after spending my first years out of college in acquisitions at a GP. kylejackson
+10 Looks like UBS HR (Truthtolight) has entered the chat to mislead employees and prospects Analyst 1 in IB - Cov

+10 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
+10 Take a deep breath. While it's a frustrating, it's an opportunity to learn an important career lesson: sometimes you can do everything right and still not get the results you hope for. Determined
+10 Hey so um, what the hell are you talking about? nutmegger189
+9 As someone who made the transition from consulting to HF lateish (~30).  The problem your facing is not just one of credentialism, its competition. RxGonGivItToYuh
+9 Eh, I think it is deeper than that. Centerview has flourished despite largely eschewing the sponsor world. Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+9 If you have to be in office by a certain time you’re not getting cranked hard enough Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+9 So about 90% of UBS MDs Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+9 I actually like this thread. Way more substance than the usual on here. Associate 1 in RE - Comm
+9 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
+9 Lol this reads like a press release Associate 1 in RE - Comm
+9 Diversity is simply a way for women to fraud their way in. Obviously, talent will be diluted when you split places 50/50 while applications are more like 90/10. loser1234
+9 Here are some that come to mind: Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+9 Looking through historic trades are fascinating right now. I’ve seen multiple deals with this profile recently (using round numbers for example): -2016 vintage sale to Group A for $65M CoffeeBong
+9 The worst to join will be whatever the vast majority of people tell you is best. Example: Value HFs in 2003, Investment Banking in 2007, Private Equity in 2019, Tech SMs in 2021 Analyst 3+ in HF - EquityHedge
+9 bro thinks the guys on this site get laid lmao deelcheef
+9 Reposting from another thread: Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+9 25% reduction across the board, hearing most non recently hired MDs interviewing to leave Managing Director in IB - Cov
+9 hopefully they don’t layoff the remaining Americans to hire more Asian H1Bs! Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+9 Are they backfilling the role? Any idea when it goes live? mcmd
+9 I mean as a consultant, this concept was obvious to me from my first projects inside PE assets. There are amazing companies that would be sweet to own if you would be the family heir. hansdieter1
+9 IsItREPE
+9 Prior to the pandemic, they made some pretty questionable investments. Then during the pandemic they leaned even harder into doing deals, developing spec office and lots of acquisitions. JC2021
+9 1/ 3rd party and company enter into a bilateral agreement governing the exchange (at the 3rd party's right/discretion), of ABC Bonds into New Bonds, which will be issued at a premium (110% of what third party paid for ABC GS under Blankfein
+9 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
+9 Man fuck trump and his Epstein alliance getting us into this war. Our stock market would be through the roof if this shit didn’t go down. Fuckkkkkk Trump and all of his retarded zombie inbred followers RE_Private_Egg_Witty
+9 would high recommend this site, i found them to be super accurate compared to my real interviews  Intern in IB-M&A
+9 the only place where i found reliable info was this site here, questions were pretty similar to my evercore pca interview.  Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+9 i can't tell if you genuinely struggle with analogies or are just a reflexive defeatist with no hope  Director in IB - Gen
+9 Will throw in my two cents/experience here in case it's helpful for you, I'm based in NYC for context. Associate 2 in PE - Other
+8 The fact that Option 1 is actually something you have access to and you’re considering NOT doing it in favor of some bullshit hardo fantasy is a slap to the face of all us morons that got into this field because they came gufmo
+8 I feel like I just lived a lifetime Intern in IB-M&A
+8 Not sure why people get on this website just leave dumbass comments. babalu
+8 Interesting. Perhaps cutting 10% of their workforce including 12 partners in Feb was a preview. A lot of people forget that PWP is publicly-listed. Analyst 2 in PE - Other
+8 Synergies are easy to underwrite, just fire all MDs (who don't bring deals anyway) Partner in IB - Gen
+8 I started reading this thinking about how wrong it was and how I could quit at any time lol but I had a different thought. Director in IB - Cov
+8 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
+8 Think the answer really depends on what type of secondaries you’re doing. Associate 1 in PE - Other
+8 Makes you wonder how much of the “retention” is actually retention versus a frozen job market. It’ll be interesting to see what happens once people have real options again. Bulldogs99
+8 Former employee who recently quit UBS. I think the posts are mostly rooted in reality, albeit sometimes pretty exaggerated. Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+8 buy one as assoc 1. bet on yourself Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+8 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
+8 I GUESS YOU GOTTA PAY IT FORWARD MAN Prospect in IB-M&A
+8 I think this is a reasonable minds can disagree situation with an added layer of prioritizing / valuing different things. ravena
+8 What happened to their COO? He basically vanished over the summer. He was Brandon’s right hand man/consigliere for a decade and part of a very small executive team. Any color here? HomeRun
+8 Mostly agree with the Moelis analyst above, but I'd push back on a couple of points. I'm a first-year associate at an UMM fund, for context. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+8 I assume you're talking about RX Consulting and not RX IB since you said FA. With that being said... Director in Consulting
+8 Is this “friend” in the room with us right now? Intern in IB-M&A
+8 Yes, why not. Depends on where you would want to live. You could even retire after 2 years of IB if you move to some 3rd world country living for $500 a month.  GS under Blankfein
+8 BIG GION PM in HF - EquityHedge
+8 If your ready to quit this early you may want to consider going into marketing or Human Resources maybe war dog
+8 VP in PE - LBOs Managing Director in IB - Gen
+8 I HIGHLY recommend you watch the last 2 episodes of the All-in podcast (thumbnails AI Kills Us All? PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀
+8 Research Analyst in AM - FI Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+8 ain’t no way they’re reading this many words  Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+8 You’re overthinking it, which is understandable. Put yourself in his shoes: someone he interviewed a year ago remembered their conversation, stayed interested in his sector, and now wants to learn from him. Anonymous Monkey.
+8 Everyone. They see you when you’re sleeping. They know when you’re awake. They know if you’ve been bad or good…So be good for goodness sake. Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+8 Thank you, ggtzjnsiksbai, very cool!  Intern in IB - Gen
+8 Is MV ultimately responsible? Associate 2 in IB - Gen
+8 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
+7 patsfan947Pretty poor taste to out them like that.  IsItREPE
+7  EVR midstream is almost irrelevant this year. On none of the big deals. 4 strongest midstream shops are Barclays, Jefferies, RBC, and Mizuho. Barclays: Momentum (5.5Bn),  Brazos Midland (4.4Bn) Associate 1 in PE - Other
+7 "Now I feel like I was just naive. I’m 21 and somehow it feels like the hierarchy has already been set." Associate 2 in IB-M&A
+7 prolly wouldnt really recommend using videos. just grind this site i'll link here which was solid Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+7 the space didn't die, it changed shape. the classic play - buy the fulcrum security at 60, come out owning the reorganized equity - shrank because the default cycle never really came. LedgerShelf
+7 I heard AUM has dropped pretty significantly, from around $10B before the pandemic to closer to $3–4B today VP in RE - Comm
+7 Sure why not, life is too short. VP in PE - LBOs
+7 Same bullshit all these AI companies have been peddling for years.  They "sell" a deeply unprofitable, borderline useful product. Ozymandia
+7 So how do you stop the open source guys from eating your lunch and putting price pressure on you? Easy, establish a duopoly through regulatory capture. Ozymandia
+7 Dude are you a pot, or about do drop a Pablo Torre style bombshell? Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+7 I’m leaning towards C as something similar worked in my own relationship. When my girlfriend had to choose career/uni, she started rambling about becoming a nurse. Something about helping people in need or whatever. Chumpchump
+7 Everyone from Bocconi I've met is a spoiled insufferable. 80% of the interaction is just hearing about how Italy is better (despite the COL in Milan fucking them in the ass) and how great their holidays in Sicily were. VP in PE - LBOs
+7 OP here - just circling back as I made the move so thought I’d give my 2¢ for others considering. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+7 The NYPD is also involved as you know. This is not a joke URI place
+7 I don’t think anyone knows what’s going on Anonymous12345678901
+7 Still straighter than Jefferies hardos TargetToNonTarget
+7 It’s all bluff to put pressure on the Swiss politicians. Note that the higher capital requirements still needs to pass the national council before being implemented. Intern in IB - Cov
+7 Associate Director in IB-M&A PM in HF - EquityHedge
+7 Holy cringe the allocator
