+5 I lateraled as an associate from a small boutique into one of the stronger teams in my coverage. I did my analyst stint and first year as an associate at the boutique. Associate 2 in IB-M&A
+5 Take the job / money. If you’re ambitious and smart enough you’ll figure how to run your own deals eventually (or can hire people to fill in the knowledge gaps i.e. owner’s rep for construction/design). DebtChug

+5 In very simple terms, Oxford is partly viewed as more prestigious given they've produced nearly double the amount of Prime Ministers compared to Cambridge. Analyst 2 in PE - Other
+5 Bump for my prescience IRR you ready to rumble
+5 Need to get a top MBA/MSRE (though I’d lean toward MBA personally). It can not be a bottoms tier program especially in this market - if you can’t make it into a top 50 program don’t bother. patrick_bateman_
+5 You messed up not being born into generational wealth and to a real estate father with deep market connections.  (Also, bump, now that this is back in RE where it belongs.)  CRE
+5 Yo jumbo pumpkin go outside grab a beer stop tweaking u not gonna be the guy who kicks off on cycle - KKR assoc Analyst 1 in IB - Restr

+5 Non-Americans have rights? News to me Associate 1 in IB - Cov

+5 Who would be dump enough to not see headlights out of every building they come out from, and meeting co-workers at random events? Lol URI place
+5 Better question is, which aren’t? Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+5 I don’t understand why you feel relegated to “some shit corp job” just because you don’t like investment banking. Research Analyst in AM - FI
+5 Seriously. A random person makes a comment on a CRE blog about a Sr Exec who's allegedly looking for a new gig, and that becomes a hard indictment? MF Dev
+5 Most of the return offer is decided by whether people want you on their next deal, not by how smart you are. Rough list of what matters. LedgerShelf
+5 Sorry boys. Bonuses went to Shohei’s salary this year KageSelly
+5 Totally agree, we spend so much time at work that it needs to be in the right environment. Assist. VP in PE - Other
+5 Just make up some story about your family going through estate issues and have to jump on quick calls with lawyers or something. ImagineSisyphusHappy
+5 Comp structure can vary depending on the type of shop you're at, but typically a good power shop will pay anywhere from 20-30% of book (sans seat costs), some higher but not many that I've heard of. Quant in PropTrad
+5 On a deal we're selling, we have pushed back first round bids multiple times. I suspect we will just pull it soon. BestPizza
+5 Been in a similar situation and it’s always worked out, but I would say only 6mo experience makes it harder because you haven’t built up a network of people who know you and your work yet. Anchor
+5 A couple years down the line, I want to start an organization that just helps one person at a time. A complete overhaul on life. Isaiah_53_5 💎🙌💎🙌💎

+5 If paradise is paradise, and UBS is paradise, then UBS is paradise geonome
+5 Our policy is 19 weeks total of maternity leave if you are giving birth, 10 weeks of parental leave otherwise (which is functionally paternity leave for the most part, though does cover things like adoption, etc.). Addinator
+5 I'm sorry but I find that a bit insulting to be considered "creepy" just because I struggle with the day-to-day social dynamics - I think you should be careful about what you say because there are a lot of people who may b Prospect in IB - Gen
+5 You’re asking the right question, but the trade-off is not really “economics versus investment banking.” Economics majors break into IB every year. Anonymous Monkey.
+5 Only maybe half of the things you described are what interns do. Research Analyst in ER
+5 Don't worry, someone is bringing some over from 1251 Avenue of the Americas. The_Fisher_Account
+5 Big 4 audit. odog @digitalimmortality.com
+4 I know people are disagreeing and giving you MS, but as someone with kids, I get your POV. The amount of missed soccer games, missed play time, lack of vacations, etc. begins to come into perspective as you get older. teddythebear
+4 Asset managers with actual operations/PM experience is always in short supply. The fact that you went and got an MBA and did some training course to show you understanding numbers will make it an easy transition.  MPBYO
+4 If you can’t stomach the risk of not having a FT offer before graduation and/or getting canned within 2 years of your first job, then you should probably self-select out. I was in the same boat. Hags28
+4 I feel like this has to be rage bait lol. would love to hear how bauposts PG&E subrogation trade was simple compared to rolling up performing HVAC companies and dental offices. SSG Credit nerd
+4 Let’s stick to US investment banking, because the actual results make your defense look remarkably thin. Associate 2 in IB-M&A
+4 FinnesseGodTechnically possible for folks like Elon Musk odog @digitalimmortality.com
+4 I’ll throw in my two cents as someone who worked there: it’s still a solid bank, even if it’s not what it was historically. aftermath53
+4 Intern in RE - OtherIs this not a breach of confidentiality? Unless that person has been public about looking for new roles... IsItREPE
+4 I joined knowing full well my odds of being a VP were slim to none but wanted the excellent training this place provides either way. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+4 First off, I’m across the pond, so take this with a pinch of salt. To your question, if you work hard and genuinely love what you’re doing, you can make it from either university. Investment Analyst in AM - Equities
+4 You seem like a weak man. You wouldn't have made it in this industry anyway. If you react like this because of a couple of rejections, you aren't cut for this. Sorry, move on son. Partner in PE - LBOs
+4 We actually want to own the properties, not clip coupons, so we backwards-solve to an IRR. This is how I was doing during workouts as a lender (I gave some syndicators too much money and had some office loans). Associate 2 in RE - Comm
+4 RX, unlike M&A / Coverage analysts vying for PE exits, is significantly more meritocratic when it comes to exits (assuming credit shops are the end destination). Associate 2 in IB - Restr
+4 There’s a difference between earliest ability to lateral and be taken seriously vs what you should actually do. The former would suggest 6 months, while the latter would suggest 1-1.5 years. Associate 2 in IB - Restr
+4 i made this move like 8 years ago. My three best friends from law school just made partner at V5 firms. A part of my soul dies when we have brunch and discuss comp. they are paid like NBA players.  Director in IB - Gen
+4 In place yield, or at least an extremely clear path to stabilized strong yield, is necessary on anything. Multiverse
+4 Would add leads are almost always getting board observer seats on CVs… some are starting to take active board seats and bringing in industry advisors. Generic Banker

+4 I interviewed with QIA a few years back. The money is generally very good, especially so considering that you literally will be paying zero taxes on income, consumption or capital gains. Principal in AM - Other
+4 Ignore title. In PE and recruited heavily for Boston funds. Bunch of pareto opportunities in Boston if you’re optimizing for pay-to-WLB and willing to recruit off the beaten path. Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+4 PGIM RE is strong whatever office you are in since everyone is a generalist (I’m assuming this is the debt originations side of the business) Analyst 2 in RE - Comm
+4 Obviously up to the candidate to perform in buyside interviews but would say Laz is similar in HH perception to PJT M&A and MOE. gru_from_despicable_me
+4 Great news for PSC analysts, can’t imagine PWP juniors are very happy. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+4 Ozymandia: Director in RE - Comm
+4 (1) "You just said a bunch of words that mean nothing." arossi: "Stop calling it a high paying job.” (Internal quotations omitted). jl12
+4 The funny part is many of the results they predict already have been falsified. PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀
+4 PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀
+4 If you want true asset level exposure, REPE vs REIB isn't going to make much of a difference. Actually getting involved in owning, developing, and operating real estate is going to get you that understanding. jarstar1
+4 Could be a timing thing as well, asking when you’re trying to get a deliverable out normally isn’t the best time but simply asking to revisit and explain the ‘why’ once things are a little quieter is normally a good compro ACATS
+4 Hi churn at the junior level. Comp in London is quite good from what I've heard, but you will work hard. Analyst 2 in PE - Other
+4 This is similar to comp at a boutique where I was as a VP. It was 33% each to the deal sourcer, 33% for admin/salaries/bonuses, 33% to the partners. TechBanking
+4 Suggest you find some executives / C-suite at logistics companies that you like and reach out to them via LinkedIn / email / call. Partner in IB - Gen
+4 IsItREPE
+4 Typically when you get promoted, you get topped up with more carry in a fund commensurate with your level.  kuf135
+4 I was in an extremely similar situation, same background, etc. alweiss
+4 There is a lot here, and I am happy to unpack the follow up Qs:    Anonymous Monkey
+4 You may have heard this but: just enjoy the high pay and little work Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+4 You’d be surprised how grindy some MM / other firms are and how cheap (in my opinion there are a number of firms where if you want to get promoted its just as much work/ if not more than MF). Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+4 Complete scam. Avoid at all costs.  Prospect in IB - Cov
+4 Increase spacing between heading text and header rule line Remove "Language: English", unless you have another non-English language to add. acethesolve
+4 RIP Truthtolight who is either dead or banned from the forum now Associate 2 in IB - Gen
+4 You clocked us. "We" are all the same disgraced former UBS employees. In fact, every UBS hate thread has been written by "us". It's just me and my 80 accounts Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+4 typical distressed to me is not capital solutions or lending really but buying securities / debt in secondary markets at discount then doing a restructuring process (large legal process, steerco. GBB_19NHS
+4 So don’t play possum URI place
+4 bro why are you bootlicking fucking UBS lmao  Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+4 Just fyi office transfers are hard at MBB even for US-based people. Also your chinese being bad is kind of a big deal here, does your office primarily use English or chinese / what language did you do your interviews in? Associate Consultant in Consulting
+4 The point of the MBA is to rebrand from a A/E construction guy to a finance guys. If you skip the MBA and just want to work as a CM for a developer you don’t need a grad degree to do that you just need to pivot to CM. patrick_bateman_
+4 Bocconi (and maybe Italian schools in general) is such an enigma to me honestly. I just started out at HEC; I'm originally from South-East Asia so I wasn't as aware of the landscape of things before  iuc
+4 If not, spy scandal incoming! URI place
+4 Funny how oblivious the typical finance professional is. Most haven’t taken the AI-pill. er_beast
+4 Max hours was in the 100-110 range. Average was 40-50. Sometimes 30-20. Weekly. If you're not on a deal you're not working at all, which I really liked. A&M RX operates on a deal-or-nothing system. VP in VC
+4 Very familiar with RESCM so adding more color: Analyst 1 in RE - Comm
+4 Among the pod managers: Baly and Point probably have the most PM's in SF at this point. wolfman
