+2 Seriously should just enjoy your final weeks of freedom. Analyst training is like watching paint dry, you'll pick it back up quickly. Associate 3 in IB-M&A
+2 In consulting and I would say for our lead partner in our practice, yes - I feel consulting likely killed his personality in some ways. Business School in CorpStrat
+2 Late to the party but there is really limited information on this online despite being a requirement for every new joiner in the UK which is odd. MysteriousBanana
+2 If very early in IB career try lateraling to strong product or coverage group as I laid out. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+2 Product > coverage, typically, but your WLB will be shit. Product here means M&A / RX / LevFin. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+2 Congrats on Schulich Monke17
+2 Very unlikely a salary ask put you out of the running like that, if a candidate is a fit there will always be an attempt to negotiate. AtomicPenguin
+2 If you have aspirations of a finance career, don’t blow your MBA on a J-term. Do either of the following: VP in CorpFin
+2 Whatever1984My most recent ex? Grindr. Whatever1984
+2 Totally inaccurate but believe what you want. The brokers are brokers and don’t call themselves investment bankers. The IB team is legit IB and work with many blue chip REITs on corp M&A/advisory assignments. Partner in RE - Comm
+2 Wasn't 1:1, as the industry turned down the business ultimately acted more like cost-plus/T&M. So $1 decline in commodity cost more like $1.20 decline in revenue.    VP in PE - LBOs
+2 Brexit didn't do it any favors. The UK's economy has been in the toilet (or 'loo' if you prefer) for a decade, and being cut off from the eurozone isn't helping the City of London at all. Whatever1984
+2 As someone who went through the FT recruiting process for EBs, I would break my answer into two parts: 1) Modeling franker014124
+2 I'm going to say that Addinator has the right idea. Whatever1984
+2 Hot take - relax, travel, enjoy life, and mentally prepare to grind. SaaSChimp
+2 Only applied to Oxford and HEC (also got the scholarship) and didn’t look into LBS or LSE (so can’t comment on those), but I’d choose Oxford hands down. Several reasons: EUChimp111
+2 Your founder comparison cuts the other way. Yes, the founder thinks about his business in the shower. So do I, about deals I will never own a basis point of. We work the same hours with the same obsession. Managing Director in IB-M&A
+2 Partially agree on this. JPM as a whole hasn’t reduced internal transfers for FT employees. Assistant in Acct - Audit
+2 Sure ya did buddy, and I did Ivanka FengShuiMerger
+2 THIS THE SAME DUDE I KNKW IT Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+2 Congrats on UBS! Analyst 3+ in IB - Gen

+2 Associate 3 in IB - Cov
+2 Maybe I’m biased because I went to Cambridge but I think Harvard, Oxford and Cambridge are the three pillars of global academia because they have unmatched historical legacies. Analyst 1 in Private Credit
+2 What‘s some better theses that you have been successful with then? Associate 2 in HF - Event
+2 Personally, I don't understand why you're considering BMO. InfamousApe
+2 You will likely be one of the most competitive candidates amongst your peers if you are a somewhat normal human being. VP in RE - Other
+2 I regret ever engaging with this company, as my entire experience with them proved to be a complete waste of time. ellamia3215
+2 At least he is an american citizen instead of another stem opt h1b. America first nepotism! Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+2 Rip practice tests. Use “study mode” to actually learn the concepts first. But keep ripping practice tests. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+2 Consultant here (S/A+ tier) mgs2026
+2 Escp or HEC are worth it. Then second tier is Essec, but the 60% scholarship is quite good Prospect in Acct - Other
+2 Nice fanfic OP. Add robots or aliens next time  nutmegger189
+2 Maybe not 4am every day (even though depends on the period) but you should budget 2-3am for long stretches with 1am being a chill day  Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+2 Best Dressing Practices are the same whether you are a SA or an MD. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+2 In DCM at a BB. I'm a fan personally. Bonuses at analyst level is really just a hairline difference at my bank compared to coverage groups. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+2 Yeah a big issue is that my earnings are very awkward. Some of my companies do pre-closes pre QTR end and then go into quiet period from beginning of next Q. Others don't their pre closes until 2-4 weeks post Q end. Research Analyst in ER
+2 mgw19 odog @digitalimmortality.com
+2 Early in my career I started at a small family office focused on real estate development and acquisition. I was involved on both acquisitions and asset management because it was a very small team. Senior VP in CorpDev
+2 I heard that UBS are leading the IPO - pretty impressive win for them  anon1982
+2 • Which lenders or banks do you recommend for commercial real estate financing? -Whoever can get you the lowest rate and least restrictive convenats lol Sup_Bro23
+2 Your question was about 'locking in a return' but as a hedge for not receiving a return offer (very possible in this environment): get to know a project (a refi, an acquisition/disposition, development, etc) really well so asmith_1
+2 I think you're 'spoiled and bored' so keep the job but at the same time, it's not sustainable.  You can't do something your entire career that bores you. asmith_1
+2 BA imo GM in HF - Macro
+2 Yes but I feel like your average person will interpret a PhD from Harvard as more impressive than a BA from Harvard, just because a PhD sounds more prestigious. Prospect in IB - Cov
+2 Hope you’re still at citadel in a year dude get a grip candlesticks
+2 The office is absolutely unreal Investment Analyst in HF - Other
+2 Think this would be pretty difficult to do before VP+ level and realistically, even if the team says they're cool with it, it will be a career limiting move. Investment Analyst in HF - Other
+2 Thanks so much, this is incredibly helpful and makes a lot of sense. A few quick follow-ups on this to make sure I'm targeting my prep correctly: bananajoe47
+2 Same guy just different title. If it’s well capitalised you should be fine. Very region dependant and there’s some regions that are shooting the lights out. VP in RE - Comm
+2 2. No, the excel plug in has no memory besides the copy and paste instructions within excel. can't link to cowork or desktop app memory. you have to re-provide context everytime itswayeasy
+2 Goddamn "Principal in CorpStrat" is cooking in here Mr Balloon Hands
+2 It’s mostly just how to pitch that CPACE is mezz JJP1234
+2 Margin of alpha is known to be a complete scam. AVOID at all costs. I bought it and half the answers were wrong.  Intern in IB - ECM
+2 If I'm understanding your situation correctly, I do not tell 'pole position' LP about the other backups. asmith_1
+2 You think I'm crazy to accept a director role there right now? This region has pipeline and has been historically capitalized with internal funds so is presenting a bullish story. Principal in RE - Comm
+2 Dude such a shitty site stop shilling your ibtechnicalprep bs. Don’t use this Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+2 GG man keep your head up.  bestman222
+2 Do not fucking quit in one of the worst job markets since 2008. It’s 10x easier to get a job when you have one than when you’re out of work. liquidiot
+2 Why is this relevant to the conversation?  bestman222
+2 Guess nobody wants to be helpful lol. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+2 LPrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀Counter point - you have to live in Puerto Rico and be verifiably physically present there for half of the year. Pokemon Master
+2 I think your internship would set you up well for full-time recruiting in the fall. Just make sure you get some modeling experience. Director in CB
+2 Saying you can do all this in 10 minutes is the ultimate self-own Abusement Park
+2 prospect here but older friends from uni/college are AN1 and AN2 and they said the following: alexcokke
+2 It's a standard SWF style firm; great WLB relative to other PE, but harder to get promoted and a very different skill-set. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+2 Would recommend emailing instead. Finance professionals, especially those in Senior positions, don't tend to be active on LinkedIn. You really don't need to overthink it. averagemonkey12
+2 As someone who owned an Oura, I found sleep tracking to be the biggest waste of time. You know when you didn't get a good sleep, you don't need a ring to tell you that. Abusement Park
+2 This is a non-issue. Pretty much every year a few people make a post like this and it's not an issue. nutmegger189
+2 You’re acting like you’ve never said a slur to your friends before lmao Intern in IB - DCM
+2 no but you have to be sharp. you cant be dumb as rocks because you have to understand the product, just not to the extent traders need to know. no_home_jerome
+2 If this is a serious post and u care about getting laid: Google “Good Looking Loser archive” and follow it to a tee, changed my life. Associate 3 in HF - Other
+2 R1s came out last week Intern in HF - Other
+2 Exits are mainly to FIG PE and pay is insane, at least a couple years ago analyst class made in the ballpark of 300K+ Prospect in IB - Gen
+2 They will not sit and watch over your shoulder as you model lol. It will be emailed to you and you’ll have 3 hours to build a model and do a short write up / organize your thoughts. pls_touch_grass
+2 I'd say stick to macro (rates and fx) thats where DB is best. Easier to get risk early on on macro linear desks because the risk is simpler and liquidity is better if that makes sense. buddy578901
+2 As cheap as humanly possible. You do not want to be chained to a job because of your car payment. seekinthealpha1
+2 Associate 1 in IB - Gen Managing Director in IB-M&A
+2 Solid background and the pharma commercialization deal experience in particular is more transferable than people think. pharmacoach
+2 Great combo for biopharma ER. Leerink is solid for rare disease coverage but you're right about the culture reputation. pharmacoach
+2 No, you are absolutely right. it is possible and why there are so many small boutique investment banks 5 - 30 people big. But two issues, one you need relationships. blueyellowpink
+2 Stop being a pu$$y and do it, you got through college just fine. Just buck up. Analyst 1 in IB - Restr
+2 Half this forum agrees with the sentiment in those screenshots, don’t expect much intelligent conversation here. StandardHardo
+2 congrats on evercore! blueyellowpink
+2 Technology being viable is not the same as the ability to deliver that technology in a cost-effective manner (or, the cost of space compute relative to data center compute). CRESF
+2 Dang sounds personal. You okay? Works at CBRE
+2 Distressed, rates, securitized products, and FX. FX is super automated.  Stay away from credit outside of Distressed. Analyst 1 in S&T - FI
+2 Ares is in LA.  VP in PE - Other
+2 I was in corp banking for a few yrs then did 2 yrs in Private Credit at a small shop. CFACAN1
+2 Experiencing the same issues here. Broadly targeting opportunistic credit and special situations investing. Feedback I have gotten has mainly been that they aren’t hiring or funds want prior buyside experience. Analyst 2 in IB - Restr
+2 Avoid this website. Complete scam!  Intern in IB - ECM
+2 Confirmed - Both at the analyst and associate level... Not surprising to be honest, we barely close deals so the writing was on the wall Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+2 Key is generally viewed as a solid middle-market platform, and Industrials is usually mentioned as one of the better groups there alongside M&A and Cain Brothers. Intern in IB - ECM
+2 You're a great candidate especially for spain. Most of the time however consulting firms (at least in france) prefer end of studies/final year students, so aim to do at least another internship in Strategy Consulting. Business School in IB - Cov
+2 I avoid those staffings at all costs Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+2 Looksmaxxing Intern in IB - Gen
+2 It’s all going to be group dependent as anything. But yes, on the whole banking in the South is a solid gig if you aren’t in to the NYC lifestyle. You will save more and buy a way nicer home with real land. Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+2 Barclays and others did last year, pretty common… Intern in IB-M&A
+2 Lmao do 60 seconds of research on RX consulting vs management consulting, intern Director in Consulting
+2 Tough to compare them. A shitty LGP? One office, high AUM to HC, swing for the fences and sometimes (often) get burned, but a good historical track record, and bad culture (vs. LGP’s apparently good culture). Associate 1 in IB - Gen
