+1 Bump. I am a multi-family guy, so I’m just curious what you Office experts think about the state of office RE in 2026? Any predictions? Still seeing high vacancy rates. Covid19Brah
+1 Cap IQ pro has some useful downloadable templates for models & other needs. Horatio Horatio
+1 Lot of people have said already but imo willingness to learn is most important. I hardly knew any excel / ppt and had a very rough understanding of corporate finance. Dive in at full speed and be excited to learn. fibro
+1 100% Btw I'm the Duke/Dartmouth/Brown Questbridge alum who commented above, which brings me to my point below. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Arixcel is extremely affordable for what you get. StJamesPark
+1 Why don't you ask your current or old boss for money and introductions... The Biz Kid
+1 This is actually a valid question if you want to stay in IB long term. Better pay, more collegial culture and fewer hours than Goldman might make it a better place to go A2A. It’s worth considering in that case.  Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 next week prob j.jj123354
+1 Agree with these 3. Good momentum in some of these UMM industrials firms. KPS and TJC esp doing well it seems like. Associate 3 in PE - LBOs

+1 how do you know? curious George 2345
+1 Sponsors should be in that tiering of the really terrible groups like M&A and M&T for this ranking as they have fired analysts unlike most other groups. Rest of the list looks directionally accurate. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Yes. They are the worst group for junior experience. Turnover there is really bad even relative to UBS standards. They work amongst the longest hours in the bank for no exits. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Been a while, but we hired a few people from the BX AM team, all very sharp and a great group to get experience in if you get in. Generally considered a "front office" position there if you're worried about that.  Multif@mily4Life
+1 I saw a study that young people aren’t getting laid as much and now I understand why. Get off tik tok and go enjoy the real world please. Pick up a book. Talk to a woman in real life. Or man. Idc. IRR you ready to rumble

+1 Banks typically communicate in mid July-August and then pay out in the subsequent pay period beer
+1 Thoughts on Moe, Lazard senior_associate@goldman_stanley
+1 They're very solid amongst single managers. Reasonably but not overly concentrated. Solid duration. MattsMatt12
+1 Nice keep me posted if you hear anything curious George 2345
+1 Guy in LA Pokemon Master
+1 S+: Goldman Sachs, JefferiesS: Evercore, J.P. Morgan, RBCA: I don’t think any of these firms are in this tier at the momentB: Citi, Moelis, TPHC: Barclays, Wells Fargo, BofAD: Lazard oilandgasfunkymonkey
+1 Very doable as an analyst if you have a good reputation with the banking teams. You should make a few friends with the banking analysts and get word when there's an opening. VP in IB - Gen
+1 How is CIBC? Prospect in Non-profit
+1 A win is a win optiver_guy
+1 Interviewed with them a while back when they first started. Really nice people with unique backgrounds , but they’re essentially just dressing up LMM PE as prior poster mentioned. Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+1 Definitely. Get hh emails all the time. Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+1 No, they’re pretty cooked regardless  VP in PE - LBOs

+1 senior_associate@goldman_stanleyThoughts on Moe, Lazard Managing Director in IB-M&A
+1 This is just as bad of a take as saying all of software is a great investment like people were saying in the mid-2010s.  Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 This thread is older now but still valuable. You obviously know Hines well. Has your view changed or would you say five years later things have played out as you suspected? Principal in RE - Comm
+1 bump lowqa
+1 jesus christ man... get a life! I just asked a question and you are calling me an "idiot"? lhommeparfaite

+1 how would your life change based on other peoples' responses to this question PhantomGhost
+1 Accurate (I work in pca) Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 They do M&A but even then its less than what you think because Key has a dedicated M&A team. The majority of the work is pitching and random decks for client meetings. Associate 1 in IB - DCM
+1 What's the caliber they're looking for when giving out interviews? Does it have to be top BB/EB or would they be open to more "non-traditional" backgrounds like UMM PE/MF Credit SA? Prospect in PE - Other
+1 do not apologise for the length of the post, it shows how dedicated you are towards your career, unrealbanker
+1 Dont need to get actual coffee during a coffee chat Froggo
+1 Usually HWM has some averaging especially in times of high vol. E.g. at my shop it's 1w average to determine your peak (given there's noise around x-regional risk + periods of high volatility). PM in HF - Macro
+1 One of their associates was grinded so hard that they ended up in the hospital and had to quit after just 1 month on the job last year… Associate 3 in PE - Other
+1 Yes it is an unpaid wage cartel but there’s potential to get something out of it. If u get lucky and find a search fund with an actual pipeline u could get something solid experience. Intern in IB-M&A
+1 Not a real firm buddy Analyst 1 in IB - ECM
+1 lol at the metals comment. literally the last vertical anyone in industrials wants to get placed with for reasons that become painfully obvious if you spend time with that team. Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+1 "Solid" is a stretch johnnypython
+1 This is a one-off hit for PJT to be fair. They've had a pretty shit year (last year too was not great). Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 I’ve only been able to see 10% of my former friend base since working, and that’s only bc they live or work near me so it’s for us to just catch up after we leave the office.  flakeyassfriends
+1 More like $300-700k starting depending on how things go and caps at $2-3 million unless you are in a senior seat and have PnL attribution / equity stake. Ravondell
+1 Assuming you are a fall intern at Altas or Imperial (I’m not sure what other Toronto firm would could as top tier PE that takes fall interns). Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 monkeyvjit: Associate 1 in IB - Restr
+1 I think your instinct is right (coming from someone with an RX background) Associate 1 in IB - Restr
+1 If you want to raise capital and don't have strong connections to rich people or institutions then you need to let as many people know as possible you are looking for capital. The Biz Kid
+1 GIS self glaze post Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 11 am or 3pm is my sweet spot (I’d recommend the former for junior and the latter for more senior bankers) WallStreetTurtle359

+1 Interesting. I went to a top b-school (H/S/W) PhantomGhost
+1 UBS is not a serious organization on the IB side. It’s ran like a fraternity to be honest Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 Coming from someone who recently left an FCG team, I can tell you that your role is essentially that of a calculator for brokers handling only the aspects that go into the financial analysis slides of an OM. RECorp54
+1 crap pm = more blow up risk = sooner you are back on the job mkt with very little marketable experience. Possible to jump upstream? Yes. Likely? Investment Analyst in HF - Event
+1 Oh sweet summer child. I pray for you in these coming months. Good luck usernameladiesman217
+1 Correct, it’s far more. Intern in IB - Gen
+1 Eastdil actually has their nuts on your chin… RECorp54
+1 You can as there are MF spots for off-cycle. As to if it's more likely than not, it's unlikely for anyone in IB to land a MF offer. Am at GS, most analysts I know are going to some variety of MM firm. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 I joined out of undergrad so I’m not sure. Best guess would be that it would be the same for coming out of a banking program, and flexes up if you have any pertinent buyside experience (e.g., maybe 400k for 2+2). Research Analyst in HF - RelVal
+1 Yeah no shit just look at the headcount of the firms Investment Analyst in HF - EquityHedge
+1 Thank you so much for providing this info! Just out of sheer curiosity, what does the career pipeline for a regional bank credit analyst look like? Rizz-Management

+1 huge opportunity to implement AI and decimate the workforce / compensation expense slime_
+1 (clue in name, now VP in TMT) Engineer Monke
+1 If you don't come from wealth, your best bet would be to marry into it. Find an eligible bachelorette whose father is a billionaire. Do whatever it takes to make her your wife. Deo et Patriae
+1 Maybe don’t call it “performing intimacy.”  IsItREPE
+1 Just go on vibes man funkychompi
+1 Based on the most helpful WSO content, the reason for adding net interest expense (interest expense minus interest income) rather than just interest expense when deriving unlevered net income is to ensure WSO Monkey Bot
+1 If including software names since a lot of people still remain interested in tech: I would include Hg and FP, TA on the larger UMM side and a variety of smaller MM/UMMs that are more growth / growth buyouts like Great Hill Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+1 Definitely need to practice tampawampa
+1 one of the dumbest discussion topics I've read (I went to HBS) PhantomGhost
+1 Same base mostly, lower bonuses. ScrimReaper
+1 I know where you are coming from, but I can tell you from experience that the job you are looking for does exist. However, you are more likely to find it at a public company than a PE-backed or private company. illiniPride
+1 0% interest rate environment for a decade will do that  Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 It's been done before, so there is precedent - especially in healthcare covarage. However the lack of any finance-related experience or background makes it challenging. Lorderic
+1 Thanks, that's really helpful. Prospect in IB - DCM
+1 Aren’t LevFin bonuses on par with coverage groups (and a bit higher than DCM)? Or are they typically in line with DCM? rolo25
+1 how different are total comps exactly ? between M&A and DCM we're talking about a 10, 20% difference?  Prospect in IB - DCM
+1 Based on the most helpful WSO content, here are some key considerations to help you decide between an MBB analyst role and a PE analyst role: WSO Monkey Bot
+1 Capital Markets in general is underrated, people only avoid it because it's less technical, more process driven. So not idea for PE exit or anything M&A related.  OverWorkedOverPaid
+1 As a consultant will likely get more paper LBO and working capital type technical questions. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Take a look at this post, they lay it out pretty well. Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+1 Yeah no problem. Looks obviously there will be a huge amount of uncertainty but that’s some real money and what you said makes it seem like they are legit. Keep us updated w what you choose Intern in AM - Equities
