+1 Of course MIF but I doubt your profile is good enough to break in. In the paper, 2:1 is minimum requirement but reality is only strong 2:1 from top target like UK G5+Warwick or US T30 has a chance for MIF. WUOUVV
+1 Anyone have any updates at all for post-BD? Intern in IB - Gen
+1 just lie bro jfc Intern in IB - Cov
+1 "Nothing is a line. Everything, everywhere is always moving. Forever. Get used to it." qnt12345
+1 If you are in New York or SF, just get your two year promotion and lateral as an associate to another bank in your city. w5rbbbb77
+1 I also think you are fit to MiM than MIF. Lateral is more likely to MM/(lower)EB than BB and this is for London. WUOUVV
+1 roastedplantains First_Lien_Larry
+1 Has anyone gotten M&A offer yet? gysoamwld
+1 For which group too? gysoamwld
+1 when did you superday?? please I’m so confused about this timeline fantage07
+1 Idk how anyone doesn't notice that this job is bs from the second week of their internship. Like it's just process after process with no true intellectual edge Intern in IB-M&A
+1 Know a few juniors there. sounds like they had too many heads and not enough deal flow... also heard some wild rumors about a couple of the seniors in the office... crazy if true ebitdaddy6767
+1 Phenomenal. Debt margin increasing 40bps two nights in a row, average private credit retrade. Investment Analyst in PE - Other
+1 Laz lol  wuandale33
+1 @downtownlovinglife this is the moment you've been working towards PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀
+1 I’m in PE at one of the places you listed. Don’t get me wrong, they’re nice, but sometimes feel they’re continually scaled back to the point that it’s probably nothing crazy for PE, though definitely better than banking. Associate 1 in PE - Growth
+1 If there was a stack of resumes with one candidate from each of these schools, I’d prioritize candidates from Colby, Bowdoin, and Tulane. Associate 1 in PE - Other
+1 This really resonated with me. A career can build confidence and create opportunities, but it can't replace friendships, family, or personal happiness. Ambition is important, but so is having a life outside of work. hannahz
+1 From what I have read the current managing partners effectively ousted JP Conte. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 You sound like the dream associate but honestly this post almost comes off as a cringe, humble brag. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 What's funny is both you and longliveCS both type in such a way that your written English sounds like it's spoken by an Asian. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 I'm going through the same thing at the moment and it's incredibly frustrating. quant42
+1 Grateful for such articulate response.  princey.8999
+1 Based on the most helpful WSO content, here’s a clear distinction between Microeconomics and Macroeconomics: WSO Monkey Bot
+1 I didn't know this many investment banks existed, and I still can't land an internship... jaolino
+1 LSE Econ changes the comparison quite a bit. If London IB is on the table, the course gives you a direct recruiting route without the US visa uncertainty. oliverbennett
+1 Truthtolight doesn’t understand freedom of speech because he lives/lived in communist China Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Honestly, 95% sounds pretty normal for a first draft, especially if your VP is only spending a few minutes tightening it up. The bigger question is what those last 5% consist of. elsizinie939
+1 If you're Spanish go to ICADE. RSM is not enough of a target in London that you go there vs staying in your own country. If it was St gallen or bocconi then it's a different topic  Prospect in Acct - Other
+1 girl u been asking this for last 12 months Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Funny reading this post - sounds exactly like me. Also in a similar spot trying to nail the last 5%. As others have commented, trust the feedback you have gotten and drop the imposter syndrome. playtheword
+1 It's just a job friends. Do the work, learn, get paid. Don't let it become core to who you are as a person.  Rabbit
+1 Every once in a while, this site brings about gold. This, this is gold. differentbrained
+1 I think the answer depends on what type of work interests you more, as these are two completely different worlds. RCJ92
+1 Thanks, this is pretty much the concern I have. ftoib
+1 Again, can't comment on the investments accurately as I don't work at BX. Analyst 2 in PE - LBOs
+1 About to close a $26B fund but yeah pretty broken Congrats on Golden Gate Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 anyone completed the hirevue yet? legends110
+1 hopingaroundI found gs people to be the sharpest and most no-nonsense. Possess a lethal level of competence and thick skin.  IsItREPE
+1 Processes are extremely fast — most of them will kick off process late July to early August. bakeoffking
+1 Yeah 5 years is long. If you can get two different brands why not. I'd just look at getting as much experience as possible. Don't go into a master without any experience.  Prospect in Acct - Other
+1 I guess its posssible but its more luck being at the right place at the right time. jordan_6
+1 The VP says the underwriting is beginning to reflect reality. lmao GS under Blankfein
+1 got offer for private markets. Intern in IB - Cov
+1 Not OP but in my experience I've found some success "cold emailing" with your resume/a well thought out cover letter targeted to the specific firm you're reaching out to. Jahh12
+1 This is more common than folks think. I started my career at an industry focused boutique. Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+1 So AI can only rlly work with 10-15 data points at a time before it spits out like a half ass sentence per. Gold-ManSacks
+1 ביטע נעמט זיך דאָס לעבן throwingawaytime
+1 Làm ơn tự sát đi. throwingawaytime
+1 ofc much better boib_1
+1 Interesting insight. Is your rollup sector focused? With larger funds partnering and hiring to deploy AI in portcos, would the playing field not level out? How much larger is the upside where you are? Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 Meh I always thought the clubs were overly cliquey and kind of annoying so it actually can register as a negative for me when doing resume review. YMMV - some alumni gate-keep here too though. Quaneaser
+1 UBS by a margin geonome
+1 Any additional context? Regional_pubfin
+1 I agree with you. People have blinders on. Right now this is a tool, but as the tech improves and we keep building out internal systems there will be significant changes to the industry. YariTacos
+1 Yes that's the distinction I'd make. If you have enough relevant experiences then you don't need 2-3 years to recruit. The MiF would work fine. In London they don't differentiate.  Intern in IB-M&A
+1 What sectors is Freestone strongest in? I read they were down this year  Analyst 1 in HF - Other
+1 Take from ubs become ubs jrosenburner
+1 Claude seems more useful to me for the reasoning side - taking a messy set of notes or documents and actually working through the problem - while Perplexity is more useful when the task is finding information and get aislinkeir
+1 Just to add, if Oxford is genuinely your dream school and it’s stronger for the field you actually want to enter, I wouldn’t choose Brown purely because the immigration path might be easier. khan.mmua
+1 Good list. mubashirkhan
+1 Thanks, that makes sense. So the advantage is mainly the extra time/recruiting cycles to build a stronger CV, rather than recruiters preferring the MiM itself. ftoib
+1 Yeah, that’s probably the ideal middle ground if I have a strong Summer secured by the time I need to decide on the gap. ftoib
+1 Got it. Since my bachelor is already done, I think the more relevant comparison for me is actually LBS MFA vs HEC MiM. ftoib
+1 You are talking to a chatgpt wrapper, might as well ask AI on your own. Going from big4 to rx co instead of banking is a much more viable path that actually happens  Analyst 1 in IB - Restr
+1 "FERPA enables the confidentiality of student education records by legally prohibiting schools from disclosing personally identifiable information without written consent. Singlebysunday
+1 I agree that the little details can make a wedding memorable. smithjohn1
+1 IB Revs just dropped 10% YoY in Q3. While that’s not really a cause for concern on the overall franchise, but it sets the tone for the bonus pool decisions that happen in Oct / Nov…. VP in IB - Cov
+1 Thats what happens when at least 2/3 of your top bucket pool of MDs, Ds and VPs quit over the last year from shit pay. Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1 How I would cut the deck: ~40% odds Bowdoin ~30% odds Colby  ~20% odds University of Georgia VP in RE - Comm
+1 Yeah I believe it’s a junior(ish) analyst programme (imagine they’re looking for AN1 or recently promoted AN2’s). Intern in IB - Cov
+1 Most BSL steercos are run by the workout groups of CLO / real money guys, though you’ll occasionally see the likes of Arini, Silver Point, Elliot, Searchlight, AIP, DK, etc. SuperSlav_
+1 there's no shortage of buying opportunities at 150 bps of negative leverage and falling NOI. but your basis will look cool. tinyrat
+1 Love this! dantheman_1_01_01
+1 ojapar20
+1 Please point out a $500k 12cilindri to me. Managing Director in IB - Gen
+1 Bonus is going to be opportunity to find a new job… Director in RE - Comm
+1 I bet you were a top bucket intern too fkfuruirjsbahktlyo
+1 The mix of digital banking, payments, KYC/AML, and AI mentioned here is pretty much what I’d look at when comparing fintech app development teams. aislinkeir
+1 i think you are missing the point…. pods trading isnt defined in one strict way. there are so many pods that trade differently and its all PM dependent. equitystrat
+1 oh yah i know all the HHs are spraying this opportunity every where equitystrat
+1 Why was truth to light not mentioned? futurerockstar56
+1 Guys we gotta stop Associate 3 in HF - Other
+1 Thanks a lot for your reply. Very useful stuff on the Italian market  Two more questions if you don't mind: snowboy

+1 just need a little rent growth and well hit that pro forma 4% cap tinyrat
+1 What Xhamster02
+1 Have you ever thought maybe you're interviewing duds because none of the top candidates want to work for your firm? clutchmuffin
+1 Why do you dedicate as much space to an affinity group at your firm that you've been involved with for 3 months than you do for the actual job you've done for the last year? clutchmuffin
+1 GS under BlankfeinO&G is interesting, but will the career still be there in 20 years or so? (question from a complete noob in OG) mw13
+1 mass balance (i'm only downstream) Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Incredibly late reply on my end, but broke in via undergrad thestoicchimp
