+6 I have diagnosed ADHD and Aspergers, along with a few other things. I was in trading for 8 years, I've recently moved into fintech and ai. In all that time, never been medicated.  usernameladiesman217
+6 I will state my very low stakes uses of AI so far. I am interested in how others use it even if its tiny stuff, it does not need to be groundbreaking, just useful. VP in RE - Other
+6 IMO, and most people at my school do this (State Target school), is wait until September. WOORabbit
+6 Congrats on discovering what effort is bananapiano
+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 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 The market has been poor but it could be worse - and it likely will get worse.  New construction is down 30% from the peak, 10% year-over-year, and continues to trend down. Esque_
+6 All the open job postings in those groups beg to differ Prospect in IB - Cov
+6 At first glance, they do appear to be an added fee layer but do make sense for the right group of LPs.  Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+6 Interns were assigned to specific asset allocations, e.g. FraccDaddy
+6 For someone whose entire personality seems to be based on the fact that you did an unpleasant job for pay, which you seem to feel entitles you to feel morally superior to others, it's a little hypocritical to run around de Ozymandia
+6 How bad are M&A, M&T, FIG? Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+6 Maybe share your info first VP in RE - Comm
+6 How does FT recruiting work at UBS?Can you lateral to another BB within a year from a mid group? Intern in IB - Gen
+6 Recruiting is less structured in RE generally and networking is your best friend in this industry. TQQQ999999
+6 Going to be just dependent on how many interns accept returns. Yes, but also dependent on how the market looks in a year. Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+5 Another datapoint, somewhat contrary to others. At 3.5 years PE I left a ~100% certain VP promote at brand name MM+ to go to a firm with one of these longer senior associate timelines with title deflation. Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+5 If you could go back in time to when you got the FT offer, would you still accept it? Why or why not  Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+5 Anyone who is tired of seeing this loser posting millions of threads about UBS? You just got fired, be a man and own up your mistakes instead of being a screeching teenager girl. gelato_cuspids1d
+5 Differing take than the crowd and coming from someone with 10yrs experience at mega sm fund. CPDDOUGH
+5 Yeah but it's beating a dead horse at some point. This platform used to discuss cool deals and benchmark comp etc. Now every time you open the app it's just hate posting about UBS brunerrrburnerrr
+5 There is some truth to what you’re saying. BabylonLine
+5 8 inches and thick clunky monkey
+5 I see your comments all over WSO, no offense but are you autistic?  Intern in PE - Growth
+5 Yea, fs, see below for a couple headhunters that would be fine with you reaching out to them, given your profile and situation: grok
+5 Unfortunately because of how easy it is to sign up for the website, probably not. PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀
+5 Which group were you laid off from? 11_Madison_Perc
+5 I reject the premise here that the only KPIs we should be looking at are tax receipts and GDP. Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+5 bc the other stuff personally doesn't affect them genius.  Intern in IB - Cov
+5 If you are a good enough international that joins as an analyst, you can also leave for another job in either corporates or another bank. Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+5 Very happy. I have enjoyed some of the people I have worked with and have learned a lot. With that being said, the bank is clearly declining as a platform, and team culture / WLB is somehow getting worse as deals dry up. Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+5 Ignoring corporate headlines, the debt team sees a lot of volume. Not sure what their hit rate is but I’d guess standard for those in the space. Associate 3 in RE - Comm
+5 I took a look at some opportunities a few years ago and this was also my take-away. Esque_
+5 Fair points. I agree the cohort size alone doesn't tell the whole story. My point wasn't that LBS suddenly became a bad program, just that it isn't the same differentiator it was 5 to 10 years ago.   Investment Manager in Risk Mnmgt
+5 You're not alone, buddy. I've also been in the industry for about 10 years now and nothing is like what it was prior to covid. Associate 3 in RE - Comm
+5 We had a hardo summer intern that would stay super late for no reason all the time and smelled like ass. He would just never leave the office until 1am - 2am every single day even if he had no work. Amazon Prime
+5 Gorilla mind is S tier  Intern in IB - Gen
+5 Arrive: 9am seekinthealpha1
+5 200 West skybridge, I'll be the one with a feather in my hat, flintlock pistol, and a PLTR chore coat. Works at Other
+5 You're free to do so, but your administration has proven that they often don't think of the consequences of their actions. FinnesseGod
+5 delete this, already clipped from IBW. Prospect in IB-M&A
+5 You need to have an optimal plan for each part of recruitment so you can maximize your odds. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+5 For the first part, the Trump Administration even defended the necessity of the program as cited by Bloomberg (Trump Defends H-1B Visas as Needed Despite Move to Raise Costs). FinnesseGod
+5 As someone who just got their MBA and now at a UMM as a VP, senior associates thinking of lateraling, really try to get that VP promote. VP in PE - LBOs
+5 Certainly an overreaction to not being told where else you're interviewing. I always ask but its not a big deal if they decline to say where or even answer. Rabbit
+5 You clearly didn’t read, or even attempt to read an AI summary of the “Past Automation and Future A.I.:How Weak Links Tame the Growth Explosion” paper I noted earlier that debunks that stupid claim that oh the model on liquidiot
+5 Maybe some RE guys can give some guidance on a fair cagr, and wealth guys on a portfolio with 10+yr horizon. Option 1: hold and rent - 8% cagr Investment Analyst in PE - Other
+5 I think what you’re really asking is: How do you develop your style? The answer to this (+ budget) then dictates what brands you’re drawn to. Determined
+5 Ignore title- I’m a former analyst at a competitor. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+5 GeneralMDo you have a prompt you've been using for the cases you could share? Thanks in advance :) Drizzle-Maker
+5 Really strong resume. Can tell you spent a lot of time with this. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+5 To be straight with you, getting an internship at a micro-firm would not help materially for procuring a job at a BB or EB, I'd be already looking into the next tiers (which is totally fine). Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+5 The only people I know with good WLB are those at zombie funds; but culture at those firms are also shot and everyone is also all scared of getting fired. Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+5 "When doing M&A advisory, the key differentiator is being able to underwrite the acquisition financing or provide bridge financing."  Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+5 stop baiting AI discussions to plug ur slop software Intern in IB - Cov
+5 Just based on the results in the quarterly reports, think the trading team is doing quite well and making lots of money. Intern in IB - Gen
+5 Is very interesting benibaraka
+5 “I'm not sure how to fully trust his work again given all the previous mistakes.” Amazon Prime
+5 Have been doing banking in one of these cities for the last year. I, like most of the people that work for Texas offices of banks, have ties to the state. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+5 generating alpha48291 Works at Citigroup
+5 [duplicate] Determined
+5 I've worked at one of these micro firms as an associate - they're micro for a reason. Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+5 You've got the skillset to pick companies, but not necessarily stocks. A good company doesn't always mean it's a good stock.  Determined
+5 For a while some of my buddies randomly would say "what's the 411 tonight?" and became a common phrase among our friend group (mostly as an inside joke). Its a pretty outdated way of saying "what's the scoop".  Chopped_Banker94
+5 Sorry for your loss (and congrats on having a place in Greenwich lol). Intern in IB - Gen
+5 Super helpful, thank you. Works at Harris Williams & Co.
+5 I agree communication is the bigger red flag over pure technical mistakes, but the fix for that is proactive communication from the analyst/associate too, it's a two-way street, not just an intern problem. Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+5 I never had an approved account because no advantage of handing out your ideas to someone. But I have several friends at reputable places that still post on VIC. And there's a handful of "name brand" guys that still post. Investment Analyst in HF - EquityHedge
+5 CRE Christophiish
+5 congrats on butt buddy! Intern in IB - Cov
+5 Three verified professionals in this thread, independently, landed on the same conclusion: the mid-summer review says more about you than him. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+5 Dude uploaded the deposition to his YT account. This 2-hr snippet is... interesting? Sounds like they're coming after him for securities fraud on 2020 - 2021 vintage funds. Associate 2 in RE - Comm
+5 Debt side here, but also have experience as both contractor/developer. Enough time in the seat on both sides of the table to have bad experience related to surveys.  MidasMulligan
+5 It depends on what you do now. If this is your way into development, and you want to get into development, and they actually hire you, take the chance. CRE
+5 I would never work at UBS, I'm not retarded Intern in PE - Growth
+5 interned at Lincoln this summer. would agree with your point on lackluster intern class. the interns this year were all wannabe ferds but they’re all in bouse. Intern in IB - Gen
+5 At most banks, offers are yours to lose. Expectations for interns in most groups is nothing at the start. Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+5 I'll bite.  When looking at what to exit to from consulting, you want to draw an x axis which is your functional expertise and y axis which is your domain expertise from general to specific/granular.  FinnesseGod
+5 I would avoid combining PP&E with goodwill and intangible assets because they have different drivers. Four Leaf Tayback
+5 I’ve worked at both ends of the spectrum. One institutional place required sub-IC approval of a third party reviewed model to submit LOI. Another place let everyone VP and above submit LOIs without approval. Director in RE - Comm
+5 I think this issue is legitimate and should be discussed, however (like the welfare debate) it’s a distraction from the real driver of our economic issues: money printing. seekinthealpha1
+5 Yea that’s the point. Welcome to wso rolo25
+5 What should we expect for analyst bonuses if top-bucket? Understand analyst bonuses last year were around street for the large banks, but the bank is doing worse this year. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+5 GeneralMDo you have a prompt you've been using for the cases you could share? Thanks in advance :) Drizzle-Maker
+5 So… to be clear your strategy largely boils down to buying NVDA like 5 years ago? Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+5 Can't tell if you're joking or not but I'll treat it as a serious observation. The main thing that you're not taking into account is how those hours are spent in finance vs. a start up.  Determined
+5 I think the fundamental problem about our industry from a careers standpoint, is the lack of long tail upside on a single bet (that can be single deal or fund) and political risk. odog @digitalimmortality.com
+5 Escp MiM by a big margin. They place really well in London, especially italians who go there, which gives a strong network to target. Plus you get the UK graduate visa for off cycles.  Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+5 Break it off - she deserves better.  Isaiah_53_5 💎🙌💎🙌💎
+5 Quit to be a social media entrepreneur full time. The opportunity cost of the hours spend churning away in corp dev vs. building your business to be more durable is too high at this point. Determined
+5 get in kitchen gkk1234
+5 “Hi guys, my name is Victor Swezey and I'm a reporter at Bloomberg News. I cover workplace issues like layoffs, working conditions, labor unions, etc. Economist in IB - Cov
+5 Eh, debt is easy.  Next cycle comes around and every lender wants their bonus for putting enough money out the door - risk standards always collapse. Ozymandia
+5 Yeah you’re right, we should invite everyone in the world to live in NYC so we can get the cheapest delivery possible. alex50
+5 Go do something legitimate with your life. PE is a joke industry, the American public is starting to learn how much damage PE has done to society. Analyst 3+ in IB - Cov
+5 How did you find your first commercial property deal?  family friend, total lucknext one was loopnet, extremely challenging value-add and had to get extremely creative w the seller HuskiesRE
+5 Fundamental intuition in quant certainly does exist. Maybe not at massive scale but there are firms employing this approach. Strategies are a lot less publicized for obvious reasons. Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+5 Yes, it's luck, but not all luck is equal. One realization is that you have much more control over some types of luck than others. There is generally agreed to be four types of luck: GS under Blankfein
+5 For me, the value comes from networking through their in-person events (workshops, conferences, under 35 programs, etc). Of course, it's hard to put an exact value/price on networking. CRE Mamba
+5 SKP isn't a T2 in the traditional sense. Angus Macgyver
