+2 Frankly impressed vandy sent a kid to PJT in the first place! fibro
+2 I don't think any sane person is advocating for taking EBs over GS IBD, unless (1) it's a weak / niche GS group (Cross markets, Real Estate) or (2) the EB is CVP, EVR or PJT RSSG (and even then, a GS TMT is the better choi Analyst 2 in IB - Cov

+2 Dang sounds personal. You okay? Works at CBRE
+2 I know this thread is old but am in the same boat. Interned at a top MM (Jeff, HL, etc.) and didn’t get a return offer for bullshit reasons. FT recruiting without the return was a fucking bloodbath. Intern in IB - Cov

+2 Exits: depends on tenure, generally you see a slight outflux of peeps every c.2 years of tenure, common ones are corporate strategy, PE houses (esp. for consultancies with lots of DD exposure) Associate 2 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
+2 Lmao do 60 seconds of research on RX consulting vs management consulting, intern Director in Consulting
+2 Barclays and others did last year, pretty common… Intern in IB-M&A

+2 market isn't liquid enough to execute the trade so judges scored it last Intern in IB-M&A
+2 They pay him pretty well I think he will probably stick around for now. Question is whether he decides the UBS brand is a drag on his ability to do deals, which I don’t think will be the case. Intern in IB - Gen
+2 Congrats on BNP! Banna_Enjoyer101
+2 You can learn relevant skills at any bank (even crappy ones). This is coming from someone who went from a pitch and ditch shop as an MBA associate to a PJT/MOE/LAZ/PWP as a Sr Associate.  Associate 1 in IB - Cov

+2 I would take the TAS job as it has more transferable skills. Works at Cannacord Genuity
+2 That's just the wrong question to ask. There is no 1 sector team/analyst across Capital. Some tenured analysts/PMs cover boring sectors, others cover topical sectors.  Investment Analyst in HF - Event

+2 Ares is in LA.  VP in PE - Other
+2 And one other thing: I would avoid trying to dip into distributions on your portfolio already. I’d suggest investing it, putting it on a DRIP, and leaving it alone for the foreseeable future. Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+2 Been in sales a long time, usually people from risk move into trading seats vs sales just a function of who the risk team interacts with most. Director in S&T - FI
