+2 What’s your total comp split out by base + bonus? How do you feel about a longer term career at your shop given no fund economics? Associate 1 in PE - Growth
+2 Do it. The longer you stay in pure ECM the more stuck you are (until you make MD then you become more marketable). The only people I’ve seen exit ECM above the junior level are attractive women who get into IR. Associate 3 in IB - Gen
+2 Extremely uncommon. MMPM
+2 Has absolutely nothing to do with height lol BoutiqueAsc
+2 That’s cuz he’d prob kill for a biotech investing seat once he realizes he ain’t smart enough to grind it out in academia. The high horses always crash down the hardest bc they ultimately just aren’t good enough Benson Says
+2 What's your approach in maintaining/keeping a cordial relationship + corp access with management teams when you slap a sell rating on them? VP in ER

+2 some thoughts based on my limited understanding: CollierV

+2 Bayes at masters level should only be treated as an insurance (imo). It's not bad, but it's not one of the main-target programs. It's a high semi at masters, however none of those programs are the main flagship ones. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+2 I feel like if you can’t make it from Brown, it’s on you. Yeah Columbia prolly a bit better, but not by a career altering amount DRHJG

+2 I guess it’s not very established in the states (yet?) but you can’t go wrong with Farmer J Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+2 Are some of these names even S&T desks? Thought some of these were like agency brokers or electronic liquidity aggregators. Working on an agency broker desk is not the same as S&T. Works at Akuna Capital LLC
+2 Preach it. UBS is the worst place in banking for any person not based in Pune. The strategy is clear. Use European and American expertise but continually pay them less and less. timmyk123

+2 Some modest progress in Tech, mostly some basic ECM wins. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+2 your assumption that if you are so smart then you can do it too is just plain wrong. equitystrat

+2 AI will allow you to do even more work in your 100 hour week than ever before loudest_safe
+2 My friends at other MMs/LMMs with their high deal flow and high pay with relatively chiller hours/colleagues/culture beg to differ lol user_5991
+2 I'm having the same experience. There is a huge gulf between showing interest in allocating versus having the money actually show up, and going from the former to the latter can take years. cp5670
+2 ain't no way this dude is making the decision on LP allocations based on anon inputs from wso  Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+2 Have seen the same, 90-100% have been fired or "pushed out" in my personal circle / folks I've heard of Associate 1 in PE - LBOs

+2 TLDR: LEAVE. More nuanced answer below Analyst 1 in PE - Growth
+2 Worse than Heitman! Yikes. I also saw a posting from GGP awhile back where the estimated comp was $65-75 for 1+ YOE. What is going on with Chicago. Investment Analyst in RE - Comm
+2 I think S2 going into industrial is also another bad idea. Ozymandia

+2 uchicago is the easy call on pure recruiting outcomes. it's a tier 1 school for this, and washu doesn't show up on the target lists banks are actually working from, since alumni presence on the street is much thinner. OFFERGOBLIN
+2 I was between a MF and a smallish GP and took the GP. I’ve been loving it and the hours are only 50-55. Comp is lower but think I can have more upside on long term. Associate 3 in RE - Comm
+2 Most of that $1,500 is fixed cost, the design time and the mold, so a flat 20 percent haircut usually won't fly. The real lever is volume, not lowballing: more units spreads the tooling per piece. yeomanreact
+2 This question is asked and answered ad nauseum on here. nutmegger189
+2 From someone who did it and generates decent cash flow... its not worth it relative to the risk. Would have made the about the same if I stayed in PE/HF. Can ruin your life especially if you PG an SBA loan.  CEO in PE - LBOs
+2 I skipped most of mine and studied techs/sent cold emails in the classes I was required to physically attend. anonnnn62999.5
+2 GP commit for an established fund like Level is closer to 1-3% usually, but let's call it 5% total with employee coinvest, friends and family, etc. Still meaningful but usually much less than 10-15% of the fund.  kuf135
+2 Banks are definitely using AI, but in my view it's acting more as a productivity tool than a replacement for bankers. Amelia F
+2 Invest in a nice apartment. IB is tough. Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+2 It’s so over Assist. VP in RE - Comm

+2 you'll love it, great card - the weight of THE NOTORIOUS's return was immense, thankfully nothing buckled under the pressure. Even beyond the main event, the whole card really had legs. Invalid_CREdentials
+2 I consider modeling to be a negative P&L activity. Valuations are a reflection of vibes, comps and momentum. thisisanexampleofausername
+2 Probably has to do with what silo you are in, a smaller shop in sense of employees directly connected to PnL, with a decent amount of volume. VP in RE - Comm
+2 Haven't tried my hand at re-recruiting for investing. May or may not as I'm in a pretty unique role. If you're dead set on investing, I think it helps to have a hard hook on why you spent time at that PortCo. Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+2 Investment Analyst in HF - Other Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+2 Wanted to close the gap on this. I received the tax credit without a hiccup. Audit roulette is still on the table. valueadhd

+2 If you want to do multifamily, you don’t have to be equity. If you want to be equity, there are secular trends that will drive demand for non multi asset classes. makecitiesgreatagain
+2 The Dodgers IsItREPE
+2 Have a friend who is familiar with the Tampa distribution team. Have heard they are heavy hitters when it comes to their industrial niche and are the better / best group at Solomon. SpookyinvestorfromDT

+2 Rent it out. Neighbors in all these suburbs are cranky and can never make them happy. You probably won’t be in a position to really live there for 10+ years (wife + kids who are walking). Teller in IB - Cov
+2 So let me get this straight, you think the plethora of problems slowing new housing supply is the fault of immigrants at investment banks? Invalid_CREdentials

+2 Rumor a grouphead was overheard saying if he could, he would offer 0 interns in his group Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+2 55hrs per week and you want my advice on how to find time for going out? I'd be out everyday on that part-time schedule Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+2 Biotech specialist here. Nobody cares. You will have to be self-motivated enough to learn the right skills to recruit for HFs anyway. Benson Says
+2 I joined venture out of undergrad but would say that it is a hard and unobvious path where direct recruitment seems to do more harm than not. anon_vc
+2 Appreciate the candid insights, I have been seeing entering into ECM as a stepping stone for other opportunities.  The reason I am interested in ECM IB is for a few reasons.  Bananaman2059
