+1 “You have to joyfully participate in the suffering of the world”- Anthony Soprano themagician357

+1 People be MS-ing this post even though there is verified articles on it, smh Associate 2 in IB - Gen
+1 I come from the controversial viewpoint that you cannot be L/S generalist bc finding upsides on long's require specialist type of understanding that is quite unobtainable for those who are entry-level analysts. anonibguy
+1 Dude how tf did you manage to have negative bananas lol AnInvestmentBanker
+1 Well if there's that perception, then it's complete BS & i genuinely believe rooted in stereotypes or racism. princey.8999

+1 Just know you're cooked bro Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 Appreciate the thoughts. I hadn't actually thought from this perspective so I'll be sure to read through my deal sheet and prep well on the "deal logic" behind each. MOICProtection

+1 Specialist > Generalist, but with some nuance - specialist is definitely better - but it's good to have strong understanding of the umbrella industry outside your specialty.  Associate 2 in ER

+1 Assumptions: Not paying taxes and living under a bridge with the homeless Associate 1 in IB-M&A

+1 Hirevue was criminal lol f1keymonster
+1 Your response reflects the kind of conduct and work environment I would want no part of. Analyst 3+ in IB - Cov
+1 Speaking for New York at least - GS PE and Growth is where the analysts who delayed thinking about serious buyside roles in GS banking groups end up. These are usually not the best analysts /nepo etc. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 No but seriously why are you posting all this stuff? Why do you love UBS so much? Analyst 1 in IB - Cov

+1 yeah that shit was fucking ridiculous bro im praying but not hopeful Intern in IB - Cov
+1 Has anyone been scheduled for FT partners after the technical round?  Intern in IB - Gen
+1 First of all, is this a bake-off or idea generation. That alone will give you a good indication on whether this will go live. If it’s idea generation, no shot in hell you’re doing any live work in the foreseeable future. Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+1 ni hao Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 You got soft hands brother, I worked 80 hour unpaid construction shifts between my internship and FT start. You’re probably a sissy liberal by the sound of it Intern in IB - Gen
+1 I would take a look at the list of top PF banks earlier in this thread and see if they have any open analysts project finance positions and apply to those. Director in CB
+1 Lol is this a joke? GS=CVP>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Raine Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Literally do anything instead of working. Go travel, work on a personal project, bed rot, go hang out with your parents, hit the gym, literally anything else Amazon Prime
+1 Bit disrespectful to the industry too. It reads like “I’d rather kms than work with the non-EB peasants at any other highly paid job on Wall Street” Associate 3 in IB - CB
+1 I think it’s less of concern if it’s an internship cause the experience still counts however don’t expect it to lead you to an analyst/associate role at another Growth Equity or PE funds (since the types of deals and due d ace39
+1 I did my Superday last Thursday for track 3 in LA. If anyone hears back would love an update (I'll update as well if I hear anything). Anyone know if they send out rejection emails? Kondo
+1 Two things can be true at once, there can be upset former employees and UBS could still be the worst BB to work at on the street VP in IB - ECM
+1 Hey man, similar boat here. Keep pushing bro, I had some dark thoughts too abt this shit, but I refuse to let what some banks decide affect my life.  urface21

+1 An anonymous forum poster pretending to be UBS’s legal department with: The binder… The parents… The trembling apology... Associate 2 in IB - Gen
+1 RBC FIG used to be very good but has fallen off materially in the last few years. Culture is also toxic but not the worst at the bank (M&A culture is worst at the bank). Associate 3 in IB - Gen
+1 Delusional in my opinion, also begs question of is that the kind of life you want to live. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 Farallon - smart people there and lots of spin outs historically. They have $8B in biotech only so one of the largest biotech funds on the street. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 I was making a generic point about downturns, not a specific one about the world in September 2026. Ozymandia
+1 What lol no way Farallon biotech book is $8B, basically not possible based on 13F filings. Total HC might not even be that size. Investment Analyst in HF - EquityHedge

+1 Easily Alixpartners. It’s not even close Analyst 1 in Consulting
+1 You shouldn’t necessarily be at a disadvantage at all imo. Just one thing - you MUST know which recruiter your current firm uses. DO NOT TALK TO THEM. asdf1248
+1 You're probably right. This isn't a personal endorsement; it's an explanation of how I interpret this on incoming applications, though in retrospect, it might come across that way. Associate 3 in HF - Other
+1 All that hard work and experience and yet you hit the desk and still have no idea how to talk to a normal human being VP in IB - Cov

+1 Many of them discover what's Goldman Sachs at 25/26 years old, when they join biglaw and see the name on these firms in emails and agreements. Even then they have a vague idea of what their clients do.   GS under Blankfein
+1 this is why you email senior assoc/VP/Ds only. had way better hit rates and convos with them even with zero prior connections.  Intern in IB - Cov
+1 I have been in "traditional" LMM buyout PE but have worked on distressed portco's. StrategyJunkie
+1 Well DTCP does both early growth/venture growth with this Defense fund (Series A-C) so the main revenue criteria would be between $1m - $50m and probably won't care as much on other financial metrics like EBITDA etc or do ace39
+1 Superday was thursday. Pretty sure they gave offer alr Intern in IB - Cov
+1 Jfc how do you work in banking but bite on something like this? Associate 3 in CorpDev

+1 the stakes here are bigger than the headline. LedgerShelf
+1 Holy goated reference (Silicon Valley)  Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 The only two main skills that matter in this business are i) finding good deals/sites; and ii) raising the capital. If you are able to do at least one on your own you can be successful in your own venture. westcoastq
