+4 Absolutely Migsun Nehru Place is the place to be. Its the happening spot of spots. They call it the new Las Vegas of India for a reason.  VP in RE - Comm

+4 Like half of this list is flat out wrong lmao. Kudos for being able to get meaningful info about ft recruiting as an intern at cross-cap-stack SM HF.  Intern in IB - Gen
+4 I'm going to assume you're an incoming freshman? Just because clubs don't (or at least didn't) recruit at the end of the year usually. throwaway29245
+4 You guys are so fucked lol Assistant in Research - Other
+4 Most large institutional firms (pe firms, lifecos, etc.) have some sort of allocation to it. Not a pure industrial guy but have done a decent amount of work in the space. 2cxpsqcf8t

+4 I would strongly caution against interpreting recruiter spam or LinkedIn ghost job postings as actual hiring.  IsItREPE
+4 OP here. Stayed away from recruiting. Told HH I will be traveling for 1-1.5 years and temporarily deleted my LinkedIn. Hired the best lawyer possible. Acquitted of all charges. Got my records expunged. VP in Private Credit
+4 TBH funds love marketing their "competitive edge" to raise capital...but at the end of the day, it's really a lot of luck, their talent bench of investors / operators and how well they retain their top talent (sounds chees VP in PE - LBOs

+4 Just rule of law, respect and protection of private property and personal safety, free market (capitalistic system that allows for the market-driven exchanges of inputs and outputs), smaller government in the sense of one howumm

+4 $350k all-in is only a lot of money to 26 year olds and people living in Winston-Salem North Carolina. The math isn’t what you’ll make now in either seat, its the trajectory. Principal in PE - LBOs
+4 delete Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+4 It is interesting for sure. I am one of the older people here as well and back when I started CRE had a small presence relatively speaking. It was as smaller % of AUM for most firms. teddythebear
+4 Unironically the most valuable lesson I learned from UBS 11_Madison_Perc
+4 You want to know what honestly is the best thing to do. Take that $100M and drop in the S&P 500 and call it a day. No Im being serious. VP in RE - Comm

+3 Exactly, the funniest thing is these idiots would be the first to complain about delivery fees skyrocketing if NYC stopped being fueled by immigrant labor. yopierre

+3 thanks for the responses. Investment Analyst in HF - EquityHedge
+3 happens every few years like clockwork. Incoming Analyst in S&T - Equities

+3 Being married works for the BYU guys lol lack_of_funding

+3 I'm Dubai-based and and have been at a pod HF. I had a consulting friend go into a SWF in AD. PE rather than public markets, but investing nonetheless.  Emerging Monkey EMBA
+3 Nice AI slop - trying to masquerade it with lowercase letters and spaced-out em dashes isn't fooling anyone Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+3 My family is close friends with the founder of the firm. I had an "interview" with him and then went out with the team I'd be working with and then was offered. Pretty much all nepotism, not traditional recruiting. steroidmonkey
+3 Just wish my entire background wasn't CRE finance (bachelors degree included) because I would have been out two years ago. This is legit all I practically know.  Associate 2 in RE - Comm
+3 From the perspective of someone that went to LMM PE from a MM IB Pros: Better WLB for me, more interesting work, feel like I've gained a broader skillset if I wanted to start my own company Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+3 Yeah, I just think it’s an ad lol. No way people were fucking just happy to trust a chatbot. CVC paid WSJ to run that shit. It’s nonsense.  user_5991
+3 Have you tried dating a STRAIGHT man?? mara20
+3 Apply for Central & Eastern Europe coverage roles in London/Paris and you're golden. There's some out for Jeffries if I remember correctly. Prospect in Acct - Other
