+6 Guys, we’re not gonna go under because we haven’t done a deal. We’ve done enough the past two years. And there’s no committed capital burning a hole in our pocket. How do I know? Ozymandia
+6 Yea, Drax.  I'm the guy. CharlesCheese
+6 I work at a hedge fund 99% of people don’t know but people on the street do. When people ask what I do, I say I work in finance. If they ask further, I say I do investment research at a hedge fund. ibmayb
+6 I'm on the debt side, but ATLA's are often a lender requirement and get reviewed by our legal counsel against the title commitment.  A few purposes they serve: jmr206
+6 Look man, you're welcome to call me every name in the dictionary, but we're not doing this anymore. Oh wow you're so edgy and cool that you said "f*ck" with that asterisk in the middle. Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+6 So are you that guy or disproving this is all one guy with your post? Prospect in IB - Gen
+6 If you gotta ask about frats on WSO not sure how good your chances are at getting a bid Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+6 You know, I'd get on board with this. That said, the US left has gone all-in on racial extremism that their old policies of looking out for the working class/union workers have gone out the window. Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+6 Incoming SA 27 at EB — I say that I’m interning at an investment bank in New York. Genuinely no one has cared to ask where, so you were right to deduce that the statement you made was overly neurotic. Intern in IB - Gen
+6 ehh. tough call without understanding whats in the book. Fund 1 - 10% net with 2/20 structure. the headline return is ok by all means, but compared to the covid dislocation funds, its underwhelming on a relative basis. Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+6 Billion is one thing.. to put into perspective just how much a trillion dollars, the UN Estimates that solving all of world hunger and malnutrition by 2030 would require $93 billion annually. $93B x 4 = $372B. Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+6 Where are these numbers from, seems oddly specific? Also curious on 2,3 ranking: does it matter which metric you get the 3 on? How much would the numbers vary by group? Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+6 Recruiting is less structured in RE generally and networking is your best friend in this industry. TQQQ999999
+6 It's not as prestigious to work for someone else in my view. The amount of hours + inflation vs. comp growth, it's more of a suckers game than ever. Not Gen Z, older millennial for context. pajero
+6 Sir this is a Wendy’s. Yeah you’re not interested at all in finance, which is why you posted on a finance forum. As we all know, finance is only for society bottom feeders who don’t provide any value. Investment Analyst in HF - EquityHedge
+6 I am not confident you will see a regional bank take Lument or BWE down. Maybe a JV. The price tag is probably too large as a percentage of a regional bank market cap.  JZJammer
+6 Take everything I'm about to say with a grain of salt because I haven't been in strategy for that long. In my opinion there are a few things driving the gap.  One is PPT which I already covered.  BabylonLine

+6 Congrats on JV lax! henrytruth
+6 When you get to your 40’s, it kind of doesn’t matter as much.  I’m helping one H alum break into my industry.  Another H alum is pivoting to a second career (tech to entrepreneurship). odog @digitalimmortality.com
+6 “Stable” is certainly one way to describe a horse that’s already been put out to pasture. Prospect in IB - Gen
+6 Many top MBA programs heavily weigh your work experience. That is not to say they never accept students right out of college, but those are few and far between. RCJ92
+6 I'll chime in with some color on the RFA side since most experience discussed above is REC. kylejackson
+6 Somewhat, but mid-year doesn't matter much as I stated in the earlier comment. Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+6 Ah yes, the US will lose to China (which basically has no immigration) unless we have massive amounts of immigrants.  Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+6 It is considered and could be the reason someone get's screwed over, but unlikely to be the reason someone does not get a return assuming their feedback is strong for the final review. Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+6 "Thinking of spending a year there, 2 at max".  Associate 2 in IB - Cov

+6 Great perspective, it always feels doom and gloom in the down cycle but we’ve been here before. VP in PE - LBOs
+6 Brother paulrabil33
+6 Congrats ubs benibaraka
+6 First off, you've made some solid points. I'd like to take a somewhat contrarian view on a few of them, though, and sorry if that's not what u intended in your post. If so, pls treat what follows as a clarification: VP in IB - Restr
+6 It’s the uniparty going against the will of the American people.  Associate 1 in IB - Cov

+6 Wow! You work at JP Morgan?! Take me home with you now!!! You sound lame plz stop Analyst 1 in IB - Cov

+6 its ebinterviews.com all the eb kids in my class used it Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+6 If you asked how accurate is Barbarians at the Gate, understandable, I may have given you the benefit of the doubt but asking about those movies makes me have no doubts you're a retard GS under Blankfein
+6 I was told we were like the patient, Warren Buffet-esque income driven value investors. Surely we would never let incentive comp corrupt our decision making. Surely. Traderade
+6 It's actually worse believe it or not Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+6 What’s 3,2 or 2,2 for AN1?I’m guessing 50ish k and 40ish k… Analyst 2 in IB - Cov

+6 Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+6 I’d wait to raise it. If the conversation is heading down a path where it becomes clear that they are under the assumption that you still work at your old firm, you should step in and clarify. sleepygoat
+6 Been in VC for 3-4 years. People get into VC with just IB experience or just operations experience, so I think you have a pretty valuable combo there. Assist. VP in PE - Growth
+6 True story but I told someone during application season that, 'Pierce & Pierce' had opened Summer Analyst positions - this person looked it up and came back to me with a link saying, 'where is the application portal?' Analyst 2 in PE - Other
+6 Dork-ahh comment Analyst 1 in Non-profit
+6 UBS IB: “TRUST US WITH YOUR COMPANY.”Clients: “YOU’RE NOT EVEN TRUSTED WITH A BALANCE SHEET!”  Managing Director in IB - Gen

+6 Going to go against the grain here, but do you actually know what ECM does? Would strongly suggest you just ask the ecm juniors of the deal you’re working on what their day to day looks like.  Associate 2 in IB - Gen
+6 nvm we back throaway56784
+6 This advice applies to other threads on "pipelines" that I constantly see posted here too. Pipelines as prospects view them do not really exist. What you are seeing is a trend of people following the same path. johnny-mnemonic

+6 As a current USC Marshall student going to a top IB group, ED1 to Columbia— don't waste ED on USC. USC is great, but Marshall is in no way a differentiator, and the academic experience/professors are extremely mid. Intern in IB - Cov

+6 Recruiters certainly ain’t what they used to be (and they were never that great) larry david
+6 Go back to no VP promo with ur receding hairline from stress debating 2032 Capex only to lose every process you’re in and still make less cash than me (who used Claude to spread comps in 30 seconds) Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+6 Here, I’ll do you a favor: WSRaider

+6 36, been on this platform for a while. wsa007
