+2 I can apply to Columbia GS for this upcoming spring/winter semester, but the EA deadline is September 1st. PelleLarssonEnjoyer99
+2 I mean, what do you want to do? I get beggars can't be choosers, but if you want to keep doing investing though then going to downgrade brand MMIB is not the way to do so. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+2 asking for an empirical proof lmao. Research Analyst in AM - FI
+2 There are basically no jobs out there rn. It might be worse than last year (and the year before that, and the year before that) larry david
+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 welcome to adult life. It only gets worse from here! Jaded Rainmaker
+2 ill likely stick around for at least a few more years have informally been told they’re gonna offer me the VP promote and I like the deals we are doing so happy to let things play out  Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+2 MoneyEUMonkeyCouldn't help but may I ask that why did you choose infra over corporate buyout or credit? Many thanks for any insights! JT the funky homo sapien
+2 Felt the same way at some points. Realized that if I was truly working hard, and the work wasn’t translating into interviews and offers then that could only mean one thing. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+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 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 Its really annoying this whole thread is gone now dude. Analyst 1 in PE - LBOs
+2 Probably not neurotypical, but tbh I have raging adhd so I understand lol. I think the biggest thing is just being able to pick up on social cues and matching the vibe on the team. Prospect in IB-M&A
+2 definitely manga, light novels, and gold simbarawr264
+2 not at RBC but at a different hellish FIG sweatshop group myself - from my understanding based on people I know, RBC FIG is basically the worst FIG analyst experience you can get on the street. Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+2 I use AI constantly for finance—everything from analyzing earnings calls and building financial models to researching industries, competitors, and market trends. NexParadigmCapital

+2 A bit late to this - 80% capsule, 20% whatever you want. Spend the most on outerwear, footwear, suits, blazers - anything where the fabric & materials can truly shine and last for years upon years if taken care of. Addinator
+2 Agreed that MO is a real career and is discounted, but this forum exists because FO jobs are so difficult to get and people want a competitive edge. acardboardmonkey
+2 lol you’re gonna do very poorly trading binary readouts if you solely rely on ER reports. Probably better that you don’t see any of the puff pieces they put out and instead learn to form your own opinions. Benson Says
+2 I use AI constantly for finance—everything from analyzing earnings calls and building financial models to researching industries, competitors, and market trends. NexParadigmCapital
+2 Well to be honest I have friends & family (mostly family) support for raising initial money and the industry I want to go into doesn’t take a lot of capital to get started (of course there is investment). Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+2 Most traditional search funds are failing to deploy and closing up shop. SPVs are a different animal, but I’m referring to traditional (often post-MBA) search.  SaaSChimp
+2 Thanks, appreciate the insights. I have accepted the travel as a necessary shortfall of the job. Definitely wouldn't want to be doing that with a family, so I would cross that bridge when I get there. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+2 Well, you're simply just hurting yourself here. If you have a otherwise guaranteed entry, I'd take it.  rpdwldn
+2 GreenUpstream86: Assist. VP in IB - Cov
+2 how are you in year 5 and still sr asc? B School? Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+2 I always recommend to start with a summary or the core of the thesis. Whoever you send it to will have limited time. MMPM
+2 Only insecure people care about these things. And generally, the more rich people are, the more insecure they are (...funny how that works). commercialrainmaker
+2 Bump Private Equity Investor at MF
+2 A boss don’t get judged by the stories he tells. He gets judged by the territory he controls. When the map keeps shrinkin’, sooner or later the crew starts wonderin’ if somebody else should be wearin’ the suit Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+2 Different perspective on LACs than above. Went to a non-target, southern LAC (Richmond, Davidson, W&L, etc.) and recruited into IB. Intern in IB-M&A
+2 All downhill after gfc Prospect in IB-M&A
+2 Handful of target schools take up most of the 25-35 spots (UVA, UNC, Richmond, W&L, Duke, etc.), but still very possible to land without going to one of those. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+2 People posting on this forum tend to be weak socially. Recruiting at small schools like Middlebury are more social skills based since everyone knows everyone. Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+2 Can we stop with this AI slop automatically dominating screen space on every single post? Works at Other
+2 "After 25 years in business, equity manager Scopia Capital is unwinding its hedge fund and a companion long-only vehicle. Analyst 1 in PE - LBOs
+2 Just match with them on hinge and go on a date with them when you find time (best way to plan). Otherwise just go to a bar and chat up a pretty girl you see. It’s that simple. shamoneh
+2 The biggest question isn't UBS's brand it's whether analysts are getting enough live deal reps during the integration. catherine2
+2 Are we talking MM PE, or LMM PE? Either way you should just get through your PE internship first before you decide. Angus Macgyver
+2 Are we all fucked Intern in IB - Gen
+2 Must be nice to have such wealthy parents you can work for free so easily. Smoke Frog
+2 I'm on the brokerage side at a major name. We have cut our analyst hiring signifigantly. To be honest with AI we just don't need as many junior guys churning decks and data. QueefLatifah69
+2 As with many things in life, the truth often lies at the middle of the supply and demand curves. Benson Says
+2 I said coverage group not fake group. Sponsors does not do anything and keeps firing juniors. Good luck trying to find another job from a group that does nothing but sponsor books. Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+2 No point in networking until the week before your RO and really driving it once you get a RO. liquidiot
+2 If you could tell MV or IB leadership one thing, what would it be? Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+2 thx second yr analyst deelcheef
+2 No experience w/ start up funds, but that seems like a bad arrangement to me. That base doesn't strike me as particularly competitive, and no share of upside for multiple years seems like poor incentive alignment. Tortuga Vallarta
+2 I don’t think it’s unreasonable to say biotech is more technical than any product group (barring rx) if you consider the breadth of actual diligence Summer Associate in HF - Event
+2 Congrats on $25 an hour bro rolo25
+2 You sound personally offended by a bank and thats a weird hill to die on   Intern in IB - Cov
+2 How about loving and respectful? lol you must always be the smartest in the room.  VP in PE - LBOs
+2 Group and people dependent. Mentorship is really something that ends up happening informally when you work with the same few people commonly on deals. Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+2 From what I know about Tech, it's closer to 60-70 in normal weeks and closer to 90 on bad weeks. Other mid-tier groups like HC are closer to 80 in normal weeks and closer to 100 on bad weeks. Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+2 I was in this situation once. It did not turn out well. Get out as soon as possible. Investment Analyst in HF - EquityHedge
+2 When are superdays expected to drop? total first year member comp? Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+2 i’m guessing the only place where this exists are the small boutiques that don’t have hr departments. i hear the craziest stories from like 50 person firms which are all men Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+2 Well said in a much more articulate way than me. I think for the question below: it's going to be based on your interests as to see outsized returns at these funds you have to stay for more than just 2 years. Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+2 I think you should just recruit for post-MBA roles broadly (for those with prior PE experience). The actual title comes down to moreso firm-specific lingo and org structure. SaaSChimp
+2 People who think ER is more vulnerable to AI disruption than any other job in finance don’t know much about ER. Do what makes you happy, banking can get you anywhere. war dog
+2 I didn’t have any success with completely cold emails when recruiting, but as an analyst, I’d respond to cold emails depending on how I was feeling when the email came in. Analyst 3+ in Risk Mnmgt
+2 Tbf around half of the seats go to dei/nepo/socmobs and the other half is often reserved for EMEA nationals. Obviously there are nepo/dei Europeans so not all seats are completely out of reach for asian males. Gainone1572
+2 Just don’t try to come across as smart, try to come across as trying to learn. Vader_.
+2 Thanks so much for the detailed write-up. I have a million questions about the industry, as I’m seriously considering restructuring as a long-term career. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+2 Go back in time and convince your mom to remarry a HF manager. Then you can work at a HF in high school. Analyst 3+ in IB - Cov
+2 My wife (simp alert) larry david
+2 No user is wildly misinformed. Have worked at a reputable MM M&A group (WB/HL/Piper) as well as a top BB Levfin group. Nobody cares about this. rolo25
+2 I imagine that a lot of the “IB” / adviser work was just done in house by CVC and Bx juniors. Find it hard to believe that a buyer would trust “AI” responses to DD, or that a seller wouldn’t vet those before they go out. DUnder1
+2 Warning. I am going to sound like a huge asshole. But you need to hear this. Because I've started many ventures and failed in each of them. Matchabee
+2 Let's see Paul Allen's base 714_Lemmon_Legend
+2 Are you sure this actually works? All these websites are always fake as hell.  michealwilson2
+2 Spot on. Based on historical placements from USC, to have a shot at a top HF you need to be in either VIG or GIS Investment Research, and both of which take only ~7 students per semester combined. Analyst 2 in PE - Other
+2 There's only a few select MF PEs who can fundraise based off track record; CVC, EQT, Advent - CD&R is also there or there about. Analyst 2 in PE - Other
+2 Yo dude, that was like, so hilarious. You should make a post with a similiar joke everyone will love you. Holy shit PE people are such bots lmao Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+2 This is not a “pitch” per se, but I would refer you to the Business Breakdowns (podcast) episode featuring Dev Kantesaria where he discusses Fair Isaac (FICO) and also listen to Steve Eisman talk about it. Research Analyst in AM - FI
+2 I would pursue the role that provides the best deal experience that aligns with your future goals. Holidayinn
+2 What is this carry you speak of... Count_Chocula
+2 Don’t want to over share in a public form and recommend you reach out directly to a contact at Eastdil for insights. VP in RE - Comm
+2 Okay then leave or don’t work here? America has an abundance of talent in finance and doesn’t need H1Bs to work in this industry - we only extend these opportunities out of generosity. Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+2 I work in a solo GP that does pre-seed/angel. So I have no reasons to be offended, this is neither my category nor my stage. I just said I heavily disagree verbatim and this felt like an AI generated comment. Analyst 1 in VC
+2 Sounds to me like you have 2 years of experience and being offered ~110k guaranteed comp.  And then you might get some bonus upside / sourcing bonus, so in a good year you’ll then make ~140-160k total? Associate 2 in HF - Event
+2 10 days is a shitload of time to prepare for S79.  My training class opened our books on a Monday (for our 4-day S79 seminar) and took the S79 exam that Friday. Dr. Rahma Dikhinmahas
+2 Tough but not unusual setup. There's a reason why distressed is unpopular amongst allocators. Investment Analyst in HF - Other
+2 A good pitch is 1–2 pages of text, 5 pages max including tables and charts. HKmonki
+2 Google slides is paradise Associate 3 in RE - Comm
+2 Supposedly the founder was involved in managing the AI and reviewing its responses. Ruebenesque
+2 ESCP & Bayes > RestKnow lots of good job outcomes from both of those programs. rpdwldn
+2 There’s a girl in my group that’s always gossiping and spreading lies abt ppl. Very weird dynamic almost middle school esque I know how u feel Intern in IB-M&A
+2 Thanks for looping me into the thread. It gets a little nuanced, but the first thing I look at is the order in which the advisors are listed in the announcement. The_Biotech_Banking_Expert
