+8 I never really get this model wrapper companies. At my MBB I almost exclusively use Claude / Cursor. Both are very good. I would say like a first year consultant. hansdieter1
+8 Something similar happened to me, but it was one of the new full timers. Are there any seniors you are close with? Doesn't even have to be VP+ level, but an associate you are chill with that can potentially raise a flag. Works at Other

+8 Did he get the return offer newlymintedbooth
+8 Yes what a great strategy!  Rely on a workforce motivated by fear of having to move back to India and live around other Indians. Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+8 Getting true workout experience this early in your career is a great opportunity, especially at BB. Some of this probably depends on the split between CRE workout and traditional loan workout for sponsor backed borrowers. RCJ92

+8 Dude is all you do shit post about UBS? Are you upset you got RIF'd? brunerrrburnerrr

+8 Trust me. They want to leave as well PitchKing
+8 Ditto what Larry David and CoffeeBong said. I did my MBA internship there. I learned everything I needed to from their platform in those 8 weeks. jarstar1
+8 Crazy how UBS use to be respected 5, 10, 15 years ago. CS acquisition was the biggest fumble of the 21st century Prospect in IB - Cov

+8 This is modern day slavery, why are you doing this? rpdwldn

+8 The key is to always look solid and be on your game even when the going gets tough, since the analysts / associates around you will start to let themselves go as they get comfortable and work ramps up. AfterCarry
+8 Anonymous Monkey: this is easily incorrect. You are missing AllenCo, Liontree in tier 2. OrdellRobbie
+8 The path to partner at EB is not as easy as WSO makes it out to be, and those partners built their book and grinded at a BB for 20 years before having the opportunity to clip $5m+ after lateraling to an EB. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+8 Disclaimer: The above post is a paid advertisement. Claims regarding compensation, bonuses, and exit opportunities may not reflect the experience of the median UBS analyst. Prospect in IB - Cov

+7 Finance and consulting "prestige" will impress other professionals, assuming you are in highly prestigious firms. GS under Blankfein

+7 Look, setting aside a broader discussion of hikes, it's not great for a bond-proxy asset class for sure. Deals with a business plan of cap rate compression are screwed and have been for years. kylejackson
