+1 can you breakdown how you get to 1.8 million saved after 7 years? akxoisjwn
+1 All the markets are terrible. I'm just telling you how to tactically spread your net. For networking, no not really. In UK we don't care about that alumni shit but US people seem to idk.  nutmegger189
+1 the analyst above is right - in london the subject matters far less than the brand and what you do in first year. LedgerShelf
+1 Just say “Like if you want 100,000 a year, reply if you want 1,000,000 dollars right now” crazylifechoices
+1 Price and multiples are larger drivers of returns. Sometimes succesful exits are just cases of multiples going up a lot, not operational success. VP in PE - LBOs

+1 lmao yes All the top buckets do this trust me  Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Brother you may as well become an SDR/BDR and at least get paid for being rejected and ignored. Genuinely don't get why people think finance is the only high paying career path today.  Matchabee
+1 Lottomatica, Stryker, Rocket Labs, and Uber all either originated out of Europe and thus all the meaningful work was done by them, and/or had junior teams composed entirely of Europe teams. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Lol at 29, thought I would have $1M saved up by now, and i'm a little bit over $500k-600k (granted I did two years of MBA) so... $1.8M seems like a stretch VP in PE - LBOs
+1 "my MD would be able to flag/recommend my CV to the M&A team" Determined
+1 Nah Xhamster02
+1 No points for me yet, but a large % of comp is personal / team's performance. The fund has to be up, so wouldn't call it algorithmic and there is a separate, purely discretionary component as well.    Anonymous Monkey
+1 Didn’t go to a pod, went to one of the large event driven Multi Strats. To caveat points would be after Year 1. Will stay anon but made decision on brand name. Principal in HF - Event

+1 Excel. this isnt rocket science SF49ers

+1 first round at a regional cib group is usually lighter on technicals than bb processes - expect the resume walkthrough, why levfin / why huntington, then credit fundamentals: leverage ratios (what debt/ebitda levels look a LedgerShelf
+1 Real estate hiring is much different than IB/PE hiring. Different folks want different things, but I would say being likable and meshing with the team plays a much larger role. 8.43 13.5
+1 reddemonHi, PuppyBackedSecurities
+1 Would love to hear your thoughts on career earnings trajectory as referenced in another response  Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1 Hahahahaha kids nowadays. Now why would you MD shoot himself/herself in the foot and recommend you so that he’d go extra mile, down a resource to hire again? Green Zeus
+1 The fact that people are even comparing the two is scaring me ImagineSisyphusHappy
+1 Why did you come on here before actually joining the run club? There is probably a club for every day of the week. Go. lake_michigan

+1 Order of operations. Learning how to access/understand reserve reports >>> 90% or the other randomness Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 As a Canadian this isn't entirely off base. Can't really speak to the racism stuff (may be true just haven't seen much of that) but it's well known here that western queens kids will cheat in every recruiting process. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Depends how much pride you take in the work. Dont think it’s empty, but it’s definitely second to wife/family/the rest of your life midtownspecialsits
+1 bump Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 adding to the above - for a levfin seat specifically, spend your prep time on the credit lens, not the pe lens. LedgerShelf
+1 I'd imagine a potential employer would verify your "existing" deferred comp (excl. standard annual cash bonus) in some capacity before even considering something like this? MidwestBankr
+1 What are the lifestyle differences between FTR and term traders? To me, term trading seems "easier" since I've never seen a term trader maintain a production cost model and they seem to do relative value trading. thebigyosh
+1 According to the weirdos there, the perk of working there is you get to say you work at JPM Intern in IB-M&A
+1 Any achievement can be meaningful or worthless depending on your perspective, but that perspective only "matters" if you've actually achieved it. You'll never know for yourself unless you achieve them all.  PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀
+1 Nothing is going to have meaningfully changed in less than 5 months. PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀
+1 Sequoia sounds like a checkered history in developing a public equities strategy beyond the core VC capability for which they are well known and regarded. wolfman

+1 Denver is a shithole now...bad homeless issue, ~40% office vacancy rate, like a third of ground floor retail is vacant, and high crime. The city has not recovered since the pandemic. Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+1 I’m in retail and we are very busy. TheDirtMerchant
+1 gotreasons johnsimpson122
+1 One of the stronger insurance groups on the street. Aquarian deal for Brighthouse was big and they are or have been on many big IPOs in the past few years. Have some sell-sides going too. Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Buddy it’s not that hard, all your competitors are using AI why don’t you sit down and get to work. Motionsickness35
+1 It’s a very small office they recently opened. I think it’s 1 maybe 2 MDs. They only do medical services (think the medical machines not bio tech). That’s all I really know. Assistant in Legal
+1 THE 😩🔥🥵😮‍💨GOLDMAN 🥵🔥😩😮‍💨🤤 SACHS 😩🥵🔥🤤😮‍💨💸 Analyst 1 in IB-M&A

+1 Associate 3 in PE - LBOs CaptainAhoy
+1 I too wonder, how one can overcome obstacles in strategic research without having some sort of tenacious drive the dog
+1 Friend did acquisitions there until a few months post merger. Was on the EQ office side. Brutal hours. Unfortunately they lost mid and top level acquisition folks so it rolled down hill. pudding
+1 Do we know when are GS HV responses coming out? Intern GS
+1 Thanks for the reply. The person is related to me, so has known me for a long time, trusts me etc. He has no institutional experience which I have? Prospect in RE - Comm
+1 I don't think consulting is a great place to be, loads of quiet layoffs. Many people on the bench. Tight budgets, less interesting projects for the most part at most firms.  Business School in CorpStrat
+1 Yea, these people are bad colleagues to work with for starters. "Sorry, can't turn comments right now I need my beauty-sleep to look good on TikTok" SomeCaliberTalent

+1 JadenAntMSPlease for the love of god the cow is completely milked already Obviously not. If people pay, he will keep going. Poison_Pills
+1 Yeah of course YMMV. Pretty sure we plan to increase on-campus hiring in 2027. We have quite a bit of turnover at the mid levels so that's probably why. Business School in CorpStrat
+1 Offing yourself over this situation is incredibly selfish, cowardly, and unhinged. Probably somewhat indicative of why no offers too. Get some help. Seriously. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Would be the same if you got a part time internship during the semester. Shouldn’t be an issue  Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Yea who cares u didn't start. I did exactly that for 7 motnhs. Gold-ManSacks
+1 As far as I know they are extremely well paid - think AN1 was 90k gbp base 3+ years ago and assocs get high base plus bonus plus share of profits every year (with clawback tho) - they make more money there than they would Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Why would Steve and Jon, the latter of which has worked directly with Nadeem for 18 years, push him out 9 months into the top job? You would think he would have more runway than that? Analyst 1 in PE - LBOs
