+1 They’re utterly unprofitable, AI products are still full of errors, they gobbled up all the available spare capital and investors demand even further yields.  gelato_cuspids1d

+1 None of that matters. You can submit a cold app and network afterwards. If you make a good impression and they want to help you, they can get in touch with HR/the desk and move the process along. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Im on a similiar track too as mentioned in my comment above. Associate at my firm in IB probably pays around 175-200 vs. at a larger bank it would be 260 all in. bzfracas
+1 On the slight chance your assessment is correct, you still just do what the analyst says. The analyst vote/reference will matter more than the VP for your purposes. Anchor
+1 BX's London infra team is literally ~15 people on the investment team (vs. ~50 at KKR/EQT) so not sure how your math is mathing here. Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 Or it’s proof UBS will drive a mfer crazy  Analyst 1 in IB - Cov

+1 Join clubs that meet regularly every week, then they invite you to other events via partiful, and then get more invites, etc. etc. Key is to befriend the social organizers SomeCaliberTalent
+1 Have not gone through one of these programs but I think your supposition that one of these seats is not so great because of RO likelihood/exit ops ignores what a hedge fund guy/gal is in it for. Research Analyst in AM - FI
+1 Did one of the programs (not P72) and the biggest pro was being able to interview with numerous scaled and tenured PMs and having some ability to influence which team i first joined which is basically the most important de Analyst 2 in HF - EquityHedge

+1 dude just hit up any random bar and you'll meet people Isaiah_53_5 💎🙌💎🙌💎
+1 This going to sound a bit unhelpful, but depends what role at a corporate and the type of corporate. Those roles you mentioned is relatively quite broad and MBB probably overlaps best with those. ultracrepidarian

+1 Is this true? SomeCaliberTalent
+1 Created a dating app for a niche ethnic community (I know at least one couple who met on it, he did a good job marketing it as a place for serious dating and a decent alternative to solid apps like Hinge). NewIndustryHorizon
+1 Did you apply in the UK ? I applied but no answer yet. PJ Organ
+1 I wouldn’t describe it as “not being cut out” for it as if you’re inadequate. More like, you just don’t love it enough for your heart to be in it. Principal in PE - LBOs
+1 You jinxed us.  1.9 bps away.  It's a done deal now. Esque_
+1 ? what kind of question is this. Will the applications still be open? If yes, then it’s not too late. Sorry bud, don’t think you’re making the cut for EVR based on the level of critical thinking shown here. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen

+1 Sounds like you do care a little bit - that's good, it is gonna turn out ok, don't worry! Inside doesn't matter
+1 just model whatever management spoons feeds us.  Research Analyst in AM - Equities
+1 Is your current company a "huge name" in development? I'd imagine firm size discrepancies being a bigger factor in W2 pay than some broader Development vs. REPE trends.  CRE
+1 i miss 2012 randomfreshmanguyuva
+1 Have a few PCA docs / cases feel free to p. m ed.smith2
+1 Listen to earnings calls, take notes on client calls, review earnings notes, draft deep dive reports, cultivate management relationships, appear on Squawk Box, wine and dine PMs, and initiate coverage on 5-10 names.  Determined

+1 Thank you for the advice. How does one move from a PGIM to a bigger fund that is less core focused and more opportunistic and higher pay ceiling (Brookfield, Starwood, Carlyle etc.)? Tigernation8694

+1 A long time has passed since the question was asked, but I wanted to answer it anyway. Where you are mistaken is here: income and wealth are not the same thing. ronasss23

+1 Have worked at a couple of the large cap infra funds, would probably say run-rate 70 hours when not cranking on a deal but when we are (and that is often) probably closer to high-80s+ for fairly significant stretches of ti Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1 I’m with you on keeping coffee separate from dip. Once the flavors start mixing, it can be hard to tell whether you’re actually tasting the coffee or just getting the aftertaste from everything else. daltonreece
+1 Do you have data to prove that H1B is taking less jobs than AI? NewIndustryHorizon
+1 Hey thanks for your input. I believe the idea of “fraud” has quite frankly been overplayed. Erxctasy
+1 Texas A&M, Florida, Indiana, some of those bigger state schools are actually decent and have a big alumni base. Utilize the finance clubs. The 1600 will really help bridge the GPA gap. kiltedlowlander
+1 medium - it really depends on the shop. the firms that are open to it are completely open, but there are some firms that are hesitant to pull from anywhere besides banking. VP in AM - Equities
+1 This is really weird, dude. What happened to you? IsItREPE
+1 was making $285k as IB associate 1 and my exit all in first year was $310k. got lucky. had to search for a while and came across so many 120-160k all in. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov

+1 Not had to deal with it personally but two things spring to mind, firstly, don’t lie or try to misrepresent/inflate - there was a thread a few weeks/months back and it never ends well. ACATS
+1 Can’t speak for Bain but at BCG we lowered the hiring bar some ~1-3 years ago (your hiring range) to keep up with the AI/tech strategy staffing demand and to be frank, they’re duds. 99thcoffeechat
+1 hated being a public equities investor (at a LO)... interviewed at the pods and knew i'd hate it too... actually ended up in fundraising given i much rather be in a client facing role/am quite sociable Works at JPMorgan
+1 recruiting slowed down a lot since AI became mainstream. our team used to hire like 50-70 juniors per year. now it's like 7-10 juniors. Kevin25

+1 Kevin25nah, there are plenty of US citizens / permanent residents, i.e. non H1-Bs, who have accents, so you could mistake them for H1Bs. Sup_Bro23

+1 EVR is no longer sponsoring Canadian SAs Intern in IB - Cov
+1 Stay in your country  Intern in IB - Gen
+1 Honestly London recruiting is turning into a joke. With trackers and AI you have thousands of people sending their applications within the minute the bank posts the role. No networking, only luck. Intern in IB - Cov
+1 Every defeat until death is psychological  Intern in IB - Gen
+1 I know I have friends recruiting right now. I am an2 and can see how rigged the system is. Among the 20 CVs pre-selected by HR I receive, half of them I wonder how tf it passed the screening. Intern in IB - Cov
+1 I am sympathetic to your arguments but this is the classic trope argument of, "we need immigrants so we can have better food". readthe10k
+1 Thank you Jeffrey. I could not have said it better myself. burner18363737728
+1 Very good question OP. Old firm was very generous, I think it was like 3-4mo for both paternity and maternity leave. The Penguin
+1 recoveringalcFor UC or the common equity? BREIT is seeing inflows again and has not moved paper marks materially worse than industry Rick Kane
+1 Thankfully even under a Dem regime, we will likely not return back to the era of wholesale mass immigration that we had in the 2010s for white collar work, or even blue collar. The Penguin
