+3 Genuine question, why would you want to leave Dell rather than trying to find a way to lateral internally? Also data analytics seems like a great place to be, especially with how Dell is doing lately. Business School in CorpStrat
+3 25 deals in 24 months, with most sales to Strategics (OpenAI, NVIDIA, Nebius, Google, Meta, etc.). If you were an analyst there imagine how stacked your resume would be after just two years. TGB

+3 Rising 2nd yr @ UVA. I made a TON of friends and had a great time, but wish I just said "yes" more. I'm part of a top finance club, played tons of intermural sports, and went out like 2x/week throughout the yr. immo203
+3 Early 30s with IB and consulting? You're fine. I got into a SM fund out of business school at 30. Age isn't the filter here. What matters? Judgment. stockpitchlab
+3 Yes and no. Moats are important but the what has also happened particularly in software PE is firms have used “high quality” moats to justify paying any price for an asset. KR8000

+3 sensational contribution  Congrats on NYU alexcokke
+3 As others have mentioned, I think the GS/Barclays model of having M&A integrated, and only specialization at the MD level is a far better model for junior / mid-level development Director in IB - Cov
+3 As someone who went through a PE analyst program, please make sure you are diligent with the opportunity you ultimately take. Make sure you end up at a PE shop with a few traits:  Analyst 1 in PE - Growth

+3 but but but wat about da shiny new office buiwding 🥺 Intern in IB - DCM
+3 Well 2.6bn EBITDA means nothing and it doesn't matter. Which is probably why you're not able to decipher it. It's just a number. Numbers only matter in context. nutmegger189

+3 Dependent on the bank and process as some places just legit have technicals rounds with no other purpose than that but I avoided really ever being asked technicals outside of the specific rounds for it. Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+3 You mean meaningless daily rankings and congrats on XYZ posts don’t keep you coming back everyday?? VP in IB - Cov
+3 It can be helpful even if it is pure execution focused. (I'm assuming this will be the case given the actual investing seat in those shops wouldn't label the job as trader but as Investment Associate/analyst). Associate 1 in S&T - FI
+3 guggenheim i like. jefferies i would not consider an EB, but who cares about those designations anyway. the other ones you mention, pwp i like. dont know much about roth and ghl. SOFRsoGood

+3 What an incredibly weird thing to say. And also doesn't make sense, spending 85 hours a week in an office for banking does not maximize your social life obviously. yopierre
+3 If you don't see how DCM contributes to the same system, you're either lying to yourself or haven't been paying attention. Not my job to wake you up. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+3 That’s brutal. I’m surprised they gave any reason with how risk adverse firms are these days. I’d chalk it up to the market as well though. CRE
+3 Fundamental investing can be good, but you'll want to dig deeper and think about ideas that aren't apparently obvious. Options investing can get pretty complicated, so I would tread carefully here. Prospect in IB - Gen
+3 It’s more predictable and the absolute hours are a bit lower but the actual work is significantly harder / more mentally involved. Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+3 Big4 -> IB usually come from M&A, FDD or Vals. njb0036
+3 to the extent you're talking to a fund that thinks in 3-5 year horizons, it's more of saying price target, based on 2030 EPS power is $xx (using whatever 20x NTM P/E of high quality biz in the comp set). fragestellung

+3 Low-quality post - PJT M&A is mid af and quality of deals heavily depends on group in EBs Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+3 ~$6,000. I ignored the price until the design was final, focused on design instead of price. Wanted to be happy with how the ring looked then narrow down on affordability, which didn’t even come into the mix. seekinthealpha1
+3 I'm in this exact position. Currently a VP and want to quit and take some time off. Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+3 With my shitty post-Covid associates, I'm basically doing everything. First draft memos are AI slop that I have to rework. First draft models are missing critical inputs. Thepostman
+3 Interested as i believe i'll be a good fit for this type of role and there isn't lots info about this online. My current role is sell-side M&A so my practical skillset is closer to l/s fundamentals than pure quant. Analyst 2 in IB - Cov

+3 Anonymous Monkey: Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+3 SpaceX should hire u for their investor relations lol  thegoat2535

+3 Your username is a bit offensive Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+3 Lets start with the most important question, what does your gut tell you? Do YOU think you should stay with her? Do you have conversations about marriage, do you think she's the one? Deal Team Six
+3 I am not an expert on the subject but have you considered Norton Antivirus? Heard from an acquaintance they have great M&A teams Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+3 There’s nothing special about the mechanics of the S-1. It’s just an abbreviated 10-K. Research Analyst in HF - Other
+3 You’re talking about equity capital markets. What does LevFin and sponsors have to do with it? BBs aren’t a tier list lol. Jefferies isn’t a BB.  Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
